I’m a HUGE fan of aioli. If aioli was a rockstar, I’d be the one in the front row throwing my lingerie at it. In fact, if this post gets 1000 comments, I may just name my first child Aioli.

Here is my version on how to make a quick aioli for all those occasions where you could use it – chips, steak, chicken or main dish, whatever makes you happy.

What you need:

• Garlic
• Olive Oil
• Honey (optional)
• Salt + Pepper
• Japanese Mayonnaise (don’t use the normal stuff)
• Dijon Mustard

What you do:

1. Get some garlic cloves.
2. Chuck them into some aluminium foil that you’ve shaped like a basket (you don’t need to peel the garlic)
3. Drizzle some olive oil, add some salt and pepper
4. Optional: drizzle a little bit of honey



5. Seal your package and chuck it into an oven to roast for about 30 mins.
6. Take the garlic out of their skin and mash it all up



7. Mix in some japanese mayonnaise – use however much you like
8. Mix in some mustard – use about half the amount of mayo you put in
9. Mix, mix, mix
10. Aloha Aioli!

Here is a picture of my half eaten dinner with a bit of the aoili on the side. I forgot to take a picture of the finished product because I was too busy eating. Whoops.
