Ingredients

For the Jalapeno Aioli

  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (205 grams) Mayonnaise I like Vegenaise
  • 2 Large Cloves of Garlic peeled and sliced thin
  • 8-10 Pickled Jalapeno Pepper Rings adjust to taste
  • Fist-full of Cilantro stems and leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice about 1/2 a lime
  • 1/8 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt

Instructions

Make the Quick Jalapeno Aioli

  • In the work bowl of a food processor*, add the mayonnaise, garlic, pickled jalapenos, cilantro, lime juice and sea salt. Process until smooth and creamy. Some small chunks are okay. Taste for spicy adjustment adding more jalapenos if desired.
  • Transfer to a lidded container and store in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, and up to four days, before serving so the flavors can marry.
  • Share on sandwiches, burgers, as a dip with Oven Fries or as a sauce on tacos or burritos.

Notes

*To Make By Hand: to make this without a food processor, chop the garlic, jalapenos and cilantro fine. Mix into the mayo with lime juice and salt.
