Lemon-Garlic (Cheater's) Aioli
 
 
Sometimes (okay, rarely), I go through the extra effort to make real aioli. Most of the time, I start with a good quality mayo and go from there. This is just one of my go-to combinations for artichokes. If you like spicy aioli, chile-garlic paste. If you just want a little spice, garnish the top with a sprinkling of cayenne pepper.
