The aioli is the star of this dish especially if you love garlic like I do. It's also fabulous on burgers and if your in a pinch you can use a store bought mayo, just add a little red wine vinegar, dijon, and olive oil to taste along with your garlic, but I strongly suggest you just make it from scratch because it will blow your mind!
