Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized pieces Fresh jalapenos
- 2 tablespoons Wasabi paste
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 small piece Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional for thinning)
Instructions
Wash and deseed the jalapenos, then roughly chop them into small pieces. Wear gloves to avoid the chili oils irritating your hands.
Peel and mince the garlic clove.
Heat the vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped jalapenos and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes, just until they soften and release their aroma. Remove from heat and allow them to cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the sautéed jalapenos and garlic, wasabi paste, mayonnaise, lime juice, honey, and salt.
Blend the ingredients on high until smooth and creamy. If the sauce seems too thick, add water 1 teaspoon at a time and blend until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice for acidity, more honey for sweetness, or more wasabi for an extra kick.
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
Serve the Wasabi Jalapeno Sauce as a dip, spread, or drizzle over your favorite dishes. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
