Chipotle Aioli

Paul O'Connell from "The Oldways Table"

Aioli is a strongly-flavored garlic mayonnaise from the Provence region of southern France. By adding chipotle, a distinctly Mexican flavor, this traditional French garnish turns Latin! Aioli is a popular accompaniment for fish, meats and vegetables.

Ingredients: 

1 egg
2 egg yolks
2 crushed garlic cloves
1 tablespoon mustard
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
1 small can of chipotle chilies
1 red onion, finely chopped

Instructions: 
  1. In a food processor or blender, combine the egg, egg yolks, garlic, mustard, and lemon juice. Process until smooth.
  2. With the machine still running, add the olive oil and canola oil in a slow stream and blend until the mixture emulsifies to the consistency of mayonnaise.
  3. Add the cilantro and chiles and blend until smooth. For a chunky version, stir in the chopped onion. Makes about 2 cups.
