aioli Archives - Western Garden Centers

Aioli. You’ve heard of it. Maybe even seen it. But what in the world is it? Well, you’ve come to the right place for answers! Aioli is a garlic-flavored mayonnaise typically served with fish, seafood and vegetables. It’s a French word with Latin roots: ai–>garlic (allium) and oli–>oil (oleum). Garlic Oil. Yup. We’re making garlic oil today! With a little cilantro thrown in for good measure.

You’ll be so happy you tried today’s recipe. This aioli is so easy to make…it all goes in the blender, and you’re done in 30 seconds! There’s nothing I love more than an easy, quick, delicious recipe!

So far we have enjoyed our garlic-cilantro aioli with Roasted Artichoke, Fat-Free Sweet Potato Fries (we will share that recipe with you next week!) and we even used it as a sandwich spread. You just can’t go wrong with this aioli! Comment below and let us know how you like to eat your aioli!

If you want to impress your dinner guests, serve them this fabulous roasted artichoke! It may take a long time in the oven, but with only a couple of minutes of prep, it can be roasting while you prepare your meal, weed the garden or take a nap! And the flavor it develops from roasting is well worth the wait. As you may have noticed by now, roasting is one of our favorite ways to prepare veggies! If you like it steamed or boiled, try it roasted and you may never go back! We served this with a delicious garlic-cilantro-lime aioli that was made in the blender in about 30 seconds!

To eat your artichoke, pull the leaves off, dip the part of the leaf that was attached to the artichoke in your sauce, put it in your mouth, close your teeth on the leaf, and pull outward. The soft, delicious part of the leaf will come off the more fibrous, woody part. Discard the leaf when you have eaten the soft part. Enjoy!
