“Duck fat is so luxurious in this aïoli that comes together in a flash. I love it with crispy potatoes or dolloped onto boiled eggs.”- Khanya Mzongwana

Ingredients

Method
  • 1 head garlic
  • 2 free-range egg yolks
  • 2 T white wine vinegar
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 t Dijon mustard
  • 200 g Woolworths duck fat, melted

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Cut the top off the garlic and place it on a baking tray. Roast until softened, about 15–20 minutes. Squeeze the garlic out of the skin. Place in a blender with the remaining ingredients except the duck fat and blend until smooth.

2. Keep the blender running at a medium speed, then slowly drip in the duck fat. It should take about 4 minutes to add all the duck fat.

3. Blend until the mixture reaches the consistency of mayonnaise, but no longer than 1 minute.
