Description
This garlicky Harissa Aioli is reminiscent of a classic aioli sauce, but with a little smokey spicy kick from Morocco’s favorite hot sauce. You’ll love how easily this comes together (I’m talking 5 minutes) with a jar of harissa, mayo, lemon juice, garlic, and oil. Serve as a side sauce with grilled meats, or slathered on bread in sandwiches and burgers.
