1. Roast the garlic. Cut the top of the garlic bulb off and drizzle some olive oil over the bulb, allowing it to seep in between each garlic clove. Loosely wrap the bulb of garlic in foil and bake until golden brown and soft.
   
2. Combine the ingredients. Squeeze the garlic bulb into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients.
   
3. Mix the Donkey Sauce. Thoroughly mix the ingredients until well combined.
   
4. Now go spread this sauce on some amazing smash burgers.

Tips for Success

• The more you mix the sauce, the more the garlic will break down. Mix it until you get the desired texture. I like to keep some chunks of garlic in my sauce!
  
• Store in the fridge for 3 to 5 days.
  
• Let the sauce sit in the fridge for an hour or two before serving. This will give time for the flavors to meld together and let the roasted garlic shine.
  
• If you want to add a little heat to the sauce, add a few dashes of Tabasco sauce or Sriracha sauce.

This recipe is perfect for burgers, but it is also a great aioli for our air-fried tilapia or parmesan chicken tenders. However, you use it, make it a complete meal and serve it with a grilled Romaine salad, some crusty bread, and air fryer brownies or banana cake for dessert.
