Cherry Pepper Aioli Recipes

GIANT MORTADELLA SUB

Steps:

• On the bottom half of the sub, arrange the cheese, then ribbons of thin mortadella, then the lettuce and then the fried onions. On the top half of the bun, spread a generous schmear of the Cherry Pepper Aioli.
• Combine the mayonnaise, cherry pepper relish, mustard, garlic and chives in a medium bowl and stir until well blended.

ROASTED RED PEPPER AIOLI

Steps:

• Place roasted red peppers and basil in a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped and combined. Add lemon juice; pulse 3 times. Scatter garlic halves over mixture; pulse to chop, 4 to 5 times. Add mayonnaise and sugar; pulse until smooth, 5 to 7 times. Season with salt and pepper.

GARLIC TOASTS WITH RED PEPPER AIOLI

Steps:

• To make the garlic bread: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Drizzle the oil over the bread slices. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until the bread is crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Immediately rub the garlic cloves over the hot toasts.
• To make the aioli: Finely chop the garlic in the food processor. Add the peppers and blend until almost smooth. Blend in the mayonnaise. With the machine running, blend in the oil. Season the aioli, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer the aioli to a small bowl. (The aioli can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Spread the aioli over the toasts and serve.

HOT CHERRY PEPPER MAYONNAISE

RED PEPPER AIOLI

Steps:

• Mince garlic and cut peppers into pieces a food processor can handle.
• Process garlic, peppers, mayo, and olive oil.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• You can either use roasted peppers in a jar or make them yourself. I make them myself. I roast in a 450 degree oven for about 30 minutes. After they have cooled, I remove the skin. Sometimes the skin comes off easily if you put them in a ziploc bag after they have cooled a little.
