Aioli…one of the great mysteries of the modern world. Or, a fancy way of saying dressed up mayonnaise. No matter how you view it, stuff is delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt (1/2 tbps..ish)
- Pepper (1/2 tbps…ish)
- Juice of 3-4 lemons
- 2 tbps Louisiana hot sauce
- 2 diced fresh garlic cloves
- Dash of paprika
Mix all of the ingredients other than the mayonnaise. Once they are combined and happy scoop in your mayo. Mix it really well, the mayo is going to want to have small clumps in the mix. Take an extra minute or two to break up even the smallest of clumps and end up with a very smooth mixture.
Take a taste of it. The true test is that if it’s good on it’s own, then it’s going to be good on everything (especially boiled/steamed artichokes and cold hangover pizza). If it’s a bit too salty, or too “mayo-y” then look to adjust by adding in more oil/mayo to tame the salt, or more lemon juice and pepper and knock down the mayo flavor.
