What is Aioli?
Aioli is a flavorful sauce made with mayonnaise. It's a creamy, thin, garlicky sauce originally from Mediterranean cuisine. It's excellent as a dip, spread, dressing, or glaze for grilled meats and roasted veggies.
How To Make(Learn The Basics)
- Start with the Base: First, you need mayonnaise. I usually use store-bought light mayonnaise, but you can also make it at home(whisk one egg yolk with ¾ cup of avocado oil until it's creamy).
- Add Garlic: Freshly minced garlic is best for classic flavors. However, you can modify it to jarred minced garlic or garlic powder.
- Choose the acidity: Lemon juice, lime juice, or apple cider vinegar can add that bright, citrusy note.
- Base Seasonings: Use Dijon mustard, ground black pepper, or crushed red pepper.
- Make it flavorful: This is where you can play and show your skills. Try paprika, cayenne, ground pepper, chopped jalapeños, jalapeño powder, pickled jalapeños, horseradish, Sriracha sauce, or BBQ sauce. Pick one or combine two or three for a bold, layered flavor.
