This Homemade Roasted Garlic Mayonnaise is delicious. If you are in a hurry just jump immediately to stage 5 and make a regular home style mayonnaise instead.
If you have a blender or thermomix this is even easier to make. Mix all ingredients together except the oil. Drizzle oil in as the machine does the rest of the mixing for you.
