Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 4 pieces Hot cherry peppers (jarred, seeded and drained)
- 1 piece Garlic clove (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional for added smokiness)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Add the mayonnaise to the bowl of a food processor or blender.
Carefully seed the hot cherry peppers to reduce excessive heat, then drain them well. Add them to the processor/blender.
Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika (if using), salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the processor/blender.
Blend or process the mixture until smooth, ensuring the peppers and garlic are fully incorporated into the mayonnaise.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lemon juice for tanginess or additional salt for flavor balance.
Transfer the hot cherry pepper mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a spread, dip, or accompaniment to your favorite dishes.
