Smoky Chipotle Mayo

Author: Flavelo
Sauces and Gravies Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes
A meeting of smoke and creaminess. Chipotle is essentially a Jalapeño pepper that has been smoked, dried, and rehydrated in sauce. We dissolve its deep, earthy, spicy flavor into the fat content of mayonnaise. Since capsaicin (the heat compound) is fat-soluble, the mayo acts as the perfect carrier, spreading the flavor across the palate.

Instructions

1 ✓

Smash the garlic. Place the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic, lime juice, and cumin into a food processor.

Tip: It's important to make the flavor paste first so the pepper skins are fully pulverized.
2 ✓

Process the mixture into a completely smooth, uniform paste.

Tip: If chunks remain, the heat won't be distributed evenly.
3 ✓

Place the mayonnaise in a bowl and fold in the spicy pepper paste. Mix with a spatula or spoon until you have a uniform orange color.

Tip: Don't use the machine to mix in the mayo, as high-speed blades can 'break' the emulsion, causing the mayo to become runny.
4 ✓

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Tip: This step is critical: fat-soluble flavors need time to permeate the mayonnaise. It tastes even better the next day!

Recipe FAQ

Where can I find Chipotle?
Look for 'Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce' in the international aisle of most supermarkets.
It's too spicy!
Add more mayonnaise or a spoonful of sour cream to dilute the heat.
