How do I use Aioli?

Bought a tub but realised I don’t really know what it is! Is it a dip? What’s nice to dip in it?

It’s the superior cousin of mayonnaise as far as I’m concerned. I use it liberally. I have no idea what you’re supposed to use it for though. Slather it on everything until you run out.

It's not really a dip, more like a garlic mayonnaise.
In this house we would eat it with steak or breaded fish or prawns or baguette.
Yum.

We have it with crusty bread like the Spanish do

This.

Then buy more.

Big dollop on top of a fish stew/paella. But to be honest I could just eat it straight from tub.

Bluesheep8 · 24/11/2018 12:13

Crusty bread dipped in. Proper aioli is heavenly stuff!!

Bluesheep8 · 24/11/2018 12:14

Or on its own with a spoon if you're me Blush

Mix it into mashed potatoes 😊

WhyDidIEatThat · 24/11/2018 12:16

With everything but especially paella with hot sauce and lemon juice

My first taste of Aioli was back in late 80's on a burger, works as dip for fries too but to date I think its perfect spread for a hamburger.

Asparagus. Steak. Big prawns. Big fat chips. More big fat chips.

Large dollop on Salade Niçoise.

Super with steak or fish.

Dip all chips and tomatoes in to it.

Best of all, thick fish soup with rounds of double baked French bread layered with aioli and grated cheese floated on the fish soup. Truely the food of the Gods.

Jeeeez @AdaColeman I've just finished breakfast (Blush) but now you've got me hungry again.

OP, big fat chips dunked in front of a really good box set. Or pizza crusts.

BehemothPullsThePeasantsPlough · 24/11/2018 12:35

On burgers with rocket.

Or just eaten with a large bag of paprika crisps in front of the telly. (My habit when I was young and speedy of metabolism and calorie counting was something that happened to other people)

Thanks! Just spread loads on a salami and mustard bagel. Sounds gross but it was actually really nice if you like hangover food!

Should work as Pizza dip too.

gemdrop84 · 24/11/2018 18:22

I spread it on a pizza last night. Also had it on chicken burgers or dipping crusty fresh bread in it.

Chips!
