Quick Jalapeño Aioli

Posted On 23 June 2019

Let’s be honest: Aioli is just a fancy word for flavored mayonnaise. This is a lot easier and lasts longer than the Real Jalapeño Aioli.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves (~1/2 bunch)
• 1-2 jalapeño peppers, membrane removed, chopped ¹
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and rough chopped
• Juice from 1/2 lime
• Zest from 1/2 lime ²
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• Dash cayenne pepper
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Adjust salt to taste.
2. Pour aioli into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
3. Stir before serving.

Notes

1. Seeds are optional but will add some more heat.
2. What you’re going to do with the other half a lime is up to you. Sorry.
