Quick and Easy Aioli

Aioli is a staple of northeast Spain (land of tapas), southern France (the better butter of Provence), and parts of Italy.

For tapas, it is usually spread on bread, then topped with veggies.

Cooking Tip:

Prepare ahead and keep some on hand. Stores well for a week or more in the fridge.

To Prepare:

Peel 4 to 5 garlic cloves and chop coarsely.

Crush in a pestle, or blend in a food processor, with 1/2 tsp salt.

Add 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tsp lemon juice, 2 Tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of white or lemon pepper.

Mix well.

Use immediately, or refrigerate promptly.
