Making garlic aioli sauce is easy and fun. I love making it because of the delicious taste, but my family thinks it's just plain cool to watch the magic happen! All you need are a few fresh ingredients and about 10 minutes to make– then all that's left to do is let the sauce sit for about an hour before serving
Make this garlic aioli dish with your family today - they will love eating it as much as you loved preparing it!
What You'll Need
-
5 medium cloves garlic, pressed or minced
-
2 teaspoons lemon juice, to taste
-
Sprinkle of salt
-
½ cup good quality mayonnaise (I like Sir Kensington’s), to taste
-
Optional: ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
What You'll Do
-
In a small, shallow bowl, combine the pressed garlic and lemon juice. Stir to combine and spread it into an even layer so the juice can work its magic. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, so the lemon juice can absorb the garlic’s flavor.
-
Place a fine-mesh strainer over another bowl. Using a silicone or rubber spatula, scoop the contents of the bowl into the strainer, then press on the garlic with the spatula to get as much juice out as possible. Discard the garlic.
-
Stir the mayo into the garlicky lemon juice until combined. Taste, and adjust only if necessary—if the garlic flavor is overwhelming, stir in more mayonnaise by the tablespoon. If you want it to taste a little more interesting, add the Dijon mustard. For more tang, add another little squeeze of lemon juice.
-
Aioli will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 10 days. It will thicken up more as it chills.
