Fresh, homemade Garlic Mayonnaise ‘Alioli con Huevo’ tastes good with everything in my opinion! ‘Alioli’ although traditionally made with just garlic (al) and oil (oli) in a pestle and mortar, I almost always opt for the easy and speedy route with this sauce. It literally comes together in around 5 minutes start to finish. Nothing beats this homemade version: heady garlic infused smooth and creamy, rich mayonnaise with a hint of sharp lemon. I love ‘Alioli con Huevo’ mixed with potatoes or egg to make a salad, smeared generously in a sandwich, as a dip for crunchy vegetables, croquettes or fried fish and of course it is the best accompaniment to Paella or ‘Fideau’ Noodle Paella. So grab your handheld blender and cup and let’s whip this together!
