Ingredients for this garlic Aioli

• Egg yolk
• Lemon Juice
• Mustard
• White Vinegar
• Kosher Salt
• Avocado oil – or your favorite neutral oil. Keep in mind olive oil can have a strong flavor.
• Roasted garlic
• Mushroom powder. We’re partial to our GirlCarnivore Ooomami, a blend of mushroom powders and other umami flavors. But using a high-quality shiitake or porcini mushroom powder (or better yet, a blend of both) will also get the job done. We check the ingredients when buying mushroom powder to make sure that’s all it is—finely ground mushrooms with no preservatives or additives. Trust me, mushroom powder alone is enough glutamate to get the job done.

How to Use

This first came to mind when we were testing the initial Girl Carnivore mushroom powder. It was such a simple recipe that I was shocked I didn’t think of it. A friend called and told me they were swirling it into mayo for their French fries, (and crispy sweet potato fries). and we knew we had to try it.

From there, it became our fancy savory sauce when we knew we wanted to knock the socks off anyone who was dining with us. We slathered it on our burgers and pit beef sandwiches and plated it with grilled meats. It’s amazing with grilled pork chops and big beefy cuts like smoked beef ribs or sous vide short ribs.

This homemade mayo is perfectly paired with beefy cuts loaded with lots of flavors. From smoked lamb ribs to chuck eye steaks. It’s even stirred into Mama’s mashed potatoes as a secret ingredient that will have everyone guessing how you made them so good. And it’s pretty good slathered right onto a piece of hearty bread all by itself.

Because of its robust flavor, we don’t pair it with mild proteins like white fish, shellfish, or chicken.

How to Store Savory Garlic Aioli

Leftover garlic aioli can be stored in an airtight container or glass mason jar for up to 7 days in the fridge. Give it a stir before using.

We don’t recommend freezing aioli, as it loses its creamy texture as it freezes and thaws. It’s best served fresh.
