Make Orange Aioli

"Aioli" is a versatile tabletop relish that can trace its origins all the way back to Pliny the Elder (A.D. 23-79). Many cooks deem aioli to be a fancy form of mayonnaise that lends itself well to seafood dishes, grilled meats, vegetables and even dunking sourdough bread. This recipe uses a handful of very simple ingredients to create a citrus-infused taste that is truly out of this world.


Instructions


Putting an Accent on Orange!


1. Set out a medium size mixing bowl, measuring spoons and cups, a wooden spoon for mixing, a whisk, and all of the listed ingredients.








2. Measure out 1-1/2 cups of mayonnaise into the bowl. Add the orange juice and lightly whisk.


3. Add the grated orange peel, honey, and chopped garlic. Mix with a wooden spoon for one minute.


4. Transfer the mixture to a small storage container with a tight fitting lid and refrigerate.


5. Spoon or drizzle generously over salmon, prawns scallops, swordfish, orange roughy, grilled chicken, or fresh vegetables. The aioli can also be served on the side for dipping.
