For this recipe I bake the garlic in the oven beforehand at 160 (fan oven) for 10-15 minutes.

There should be laws about naming recipes. This is not aioli, it is garlic mayonnaise. The worst thing about this sloppy misappropriation of language is that the original aioli may cease to exist under the weight of ignorant people who think it is made by adding garlic to mayonnaise.

Despite being no mention of mayonnaise just remove the egg if you want a ‘traditional’ aioli.

You need to boil the garlic first before adding it or its just too harsh and repeats on you.
