Lemon Garlic Aioli |
Everyone thinks aioli is just fancy mayonnaise. However, real aioli is just an emulsion of garlic, salt and olive
oil. Mayo contains egg. However, making an emulsion of just garlic and oil is very difficult to do, so we are making sort of aioli. Just
as good, much easier.
Servings: 1 cup
Time: 5 minutes
Hardware: Measuring cups and spoons, a zester, a garlic
press or a mortar and pestle, a whisk, a plastic spatula, and an airtight
container
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mayonnaise (I use olive oil-based mayo)
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Zest and juice from 1 lemon
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
Zest and juice the lemon.
Mash the garlic. Whisk everything together. Store the aioli in the fridge until you are
ready to use it. Allow the dressing to
rest for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight to allow the flavors to
meld. This will keep for 3-4 days if you
keep it refrigerated.
I used this on my Red, White and Blue Burgers and Perfect
French Fries
