Notes

*Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
As store-bought mayonnaise is the base for this aioli recipe, the best idea is to use one that you enjoy the taste of - they can vary widely in taste. Some have more sugar than others.
I have used one clove of garlic in this recipe, feel free to add more if you'd like depending on your taste.
The bacon fat is a giant flavour boost for this aioli, please don't drain it off!
For recipes like this, I like to remove the centre "core" from the garlic clove. This takes away that raw flavour of the garlic and makes it more mellow. This post will give you more information about coring your garlic.
