Why make this recipe?

This aioli comes together in a matter of minutes with just 4 simple ingredients and packs a punch of intense flavor. It was inspired by my smoked paprika sauce and the flavors work together really well in this aioli. It’s spicy, smoky, tangy, garlicky and has a nice freshness from finely chopped cilantro.

Ingredients needed:

You need garlic, cilantro, mayonnaise and smoked hot paprika to make this aioli.

Note: Originally, aioli was just an emulsion of olive oil and garlic but nowadays the term also includes flavored garlic mayonnaise sauces, such as the one here.
