Today's culinary adventure took us to Lidl for a quick
grocery run after a fun-filled day at the playground. While the kids clamored
for chips and meatballs, my craving led me to indulge in calamari and aioli.
With little time to spare, I had to get creative and whip up a faux aioli that
turned out to be a delightful surprise. Even the little one couldn't resist
dipping their chips in it and gave it their seal of approval!
Ingredients:
2 tbsp creme fraiche
1 tbsp mayo
Dash of lemon pepper mix
Salt and pepper
Paprika powder
Lemon juice
Method:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the creme fraiche, mayonnaise,
lemon pepper seasoning, salt, pepper, paprika powder, and a squeeze of fresh
lemon juice. Mix everything until well combined, adjusting the seasoning
to your taste preferences.
2. Chill the aioli in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Pair this creamy delight with freshly cooked calamari for a burst of flavor and texture.
Feel free to adjust the spices according to your liking, and get ready to be pleasantly surprised by the creamy goodness of this quick and easy aioli.
Enjoy!
