Winter Herb & Roasted Garlic Aioli
Roasted garlic blended into a thick, garlicky mayonnaise with whatever hardy herbs survive the winter — rosemary, thyme, sage. A spread, a dip, a sandwich condiment that elevates everything it touches. The roasted garlic makes it mellow and sweet instead of sharp and raw.
Ingredients
🌱 From Your Homestead
- roasted garlic (1 whole head, cloves squeezed out)
- fresh rosemary and thyme (1 tbsp, finely chopped)
🛒 From the Store
- mayonnaise (1 cup)
- lemon juice (1 tbsp)
- Dijon mustard (1 tsp)
- salt
- pepper
- cayenne (pinch)
How to Make It
- Gather your ingredients: roasted garlic (1 whole head, cloves squeezed out), fresh rosemary and thyme (1 tbsp, finely chopped), mayonnaise (1 cup), lemon juice (1 tbsp), Dijon mustard (1 tsp), and the rest.
- Prep your homestead ingredients — wash, chop, and measure: roasted garlic (1 whole head, cloves squeezed out), fresh rosemary and thyme (1 tbsp, finely chopped).
- Mash the roasted garlic cloves into a paste before mixing into the mayo — lumpy garlic in aioli is unpleasant. Fold the herbs in last so they stay visible and don't get crushed into the base. Keeps a week in the fridge and gets better after a day.
- Cook for approximately 10 min (with pre-roasted garlic). Adjust to taste and serve 12 portions.
- Plate, enjoy, and share with your household!
