We start with roasted bell peppers you can use store-bought or make them yourself for that– Roast them at 400°F for 30 minutes. Then put them in a covered bowl to rest until they’re cool and you can handle them. Then you remove the skin Just peel it off–it comes off easily and you’re just going to separate the pepper and take out the seeds and the stem and we’re just going to use the soft flesh. Add the roasted peppers to a food processor along with some garlic and mayonnaise and blend it up. Just until it’s nice and smooth– and then we season with a little salt and pepper. Give it another whiz in the food processor. and that’s pretty much it. Pour it into a jar –you’re going to want to refrigerate it so the aioli can thicken.
