Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Roasted red pepper
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
If using a fresh red pepper, roast it over an open flame or under the broiler until the skin is charred and blistered all around. Place the roasted pepper in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it steam for 5 minutes. Peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and set the pepper aside to cool. If using jarred roasted red peppers, skip this step and proceed to the next.
In a small food processor or blender, combine the roasted red pepper, garlic clove, mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Taste the aioli and adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to your preference.
Transfer the red pepper aioli to a serving bowl or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serve chilled as a dip, spread, or sauce with your favorite dishes.
