Katies Chipotle Mayo Recipes

CHIPOTLE MAYO RECIPE

Steps:

• Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender.
• Process until smooth.
• Taste and adjust to your personal preferences. Serve and enjoy.

GRILLED CHEESE WITH CHIPOTLE MAYO AND BACON

Steps:

• Put the honey, chipotle pepper, 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise and some salt and pepper in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Set aside.
• Heat a large heavy skillet or griddle over medium heat.
• Place the bread on a work surface and spread the remaining 2 tablespoons mayonnaise on both sides of each slice. On the inside of 2 slices, spread on the chipotle mayonnaise to your liking, adding more if you prefer it spicy. Top each sandwich with 2 slices cheese, 2 slices bacon and a remaining bread slice.
• Cook the sandwiches until the cheese is completely melted and the bread is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. You can use a metal mixing bowl to dome the sandwiches and allow the cheese to melt faster. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately with sweet pickles and potato chips.

CHIPOTLE CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion starts to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, and adobo and cook until very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the carrots, salt and pepper to taste and stir until everything is fully coated. Pour in the stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender. Remove from heat. Transfer the soup to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. Add the lime juice.
• Top each serving with pumpkin seeds, cheese, and cilantro.

FISH TACOS WITH CREAMY CHIPOTLE SAUCE AND PICO DE GALLO

Steps:

• For the tortillas: Brush a hot griddle with oil and heat the tortillas on each side to brown them up a bit. Wrap them in foil to keep hot until it's time to eat.
• For the fish: In a bowl, combine the chile powder, garlic salt, lime juice and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Toss the mixture with the fish in a shallow container and marinate for 15 minutes.
• For the chipotle sauce: In the meantime, combine the mayonnaise, cilantro, honey, chipotles, lime juice and salt in a food processor and blend until creamy and smooth. Transfer the sauce to a container (I like to store it in a squeeze bottle) and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Put the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fish and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and flake with a fork.
• To build each taco, spoon some fish onto 2 stacked tortillas (see Cook's Note). Top with some chipotle sauce, cabbage, cilantro and Pico de Gallo.
• In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

CHIPOTLE MAYO

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, chipotle chilies, and adobo sauce. Pulse until smooth and well blended.

JEAN-GEORGES VONGERICHTEN'S FRIED SUSHI CAKES

Steps:

• Combine sushi rice, mirin, rice-wine vinegar, konbu and 1 tablespoon salt in a medium saucepan with 3 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cover with a lid wrapped in a damp cloth and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes or until done. (Alternatively, use a rice cooker.) Remove from the heat and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Line an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with plastic wrap. Firmly press the rice into the pan. Refrigerate until set, preferably overnight. Remove the rice from the pan and, using a chef's knife dipped in hot water to prevent sticking, cut into roughly 1-by-3-inch rectangles.
• Make the chipotle mayonnaise: Combine the egg yolk, red-wine vinegar, orange juice, lime juice, adobo and liquid and 1 teaspoon salt and purée in a food processor or blender. Add the 3/4 cup grapeseed oil and the olive oil in a drizzle and process until smooth, thick and creamy.
• Make the honey soy sauce: In a small saucepan, bring the soy sauce, honey, sherry vinegar and 1 tablespoon rice-wine vinegar to a boil and stir until smooth. Cool before using.
• Heat grapeseed oil in a pan, deep enough to just about cover the rectangles. A broad skillet will require more oil than a deep saucepan, but will allow you to cook more pieces at once. Allow oil temperature to reach 350 to 360 degrees. Dredge the rice rectangles in rice flour and cook until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes total, turning once; transfer to paper towels and season with salt
• Combine chipotle mayonnaise and scallions. Top each rectangle with a bit of the mayonnaise, then drape with a piece of raw scallop. Brush or drizzle with honey soy, then garnish with a bit of cilantro and a tiny pinch of salt.
