How to Make Aioli Sauce With Just 5 Ingredients
How to Make Aioli
Aioli is a very common and popular Mediterranean sauce. Traditionally, it is made by combining garlic paste and olive oil. In more recent times, however, some have modified the recipe to include other ingredients such as lemon juice and egg (the egg acts as an emulsifier). Since mayonnaise usually contains egg, oil, and lemon juice, some modern aioli recipes call for mayonnaise as a three-in-one ingredient.
Aioli sauce pairs perfectly with any of your favorite fried foods.
