Chilli and lime mayonnaise is a zesty, flavorful twist on traditional mayo that adds a burst of excitement to sandwiches, salads, and dipping sauces. Combining the tanginess of lime with the subtle heat of salsa sauce, this homemade condiment is sure to elevate your culinary creations. Follow this straightforward recipe to prepare a luscious, silky-smooth mayonnaise that will impress your taste buds.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and dry the lime.
- Using a fine grater, zest the lime into a bowl. Make sure to only grate the green outer layer, avoiding the white pith as it's bitter.
- Cut the lime in half and squeeze out the juice. Set the zest and juice aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the 3 egg yolks and 1 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and the salt is fully dissolved.
- While whisking continuously, very slowly start to drizzle in the olive oil. Begin with just a few drops at a time. Make sure the oil is fully incorporated before adding more. This step is crucial for the mayonnaise to emulsify properly.
- As the mixture starts to thicken, you can gradually increase the rate at which you add the olive oil, but still in a slow, steady stream. Continue whisking constantly to ensure a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Once all the oil has been added and the mixture has thickened to a mayonnaise consistency, whisk in the lime zest, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of salsa sauce. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Taste the mayonnaise and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, lime juice, or salsa sauce to match your preference.
- Transfer the chilli and lime mayonnaise to a serving bowl or an airtight container.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to ensure they blend smoothly.
- Use a blender or food processor to emulsify the mixture evenly and achieve a creamy consistency.
- Add the oil slowly, in a thin stream, while blending to help the mayonnaise to emulsify properly.
- Taste as you go and adjust salt and lime juice to your preference.
- Store the mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
This chilli and lime mayonnaise is a versatile condiment that can complement a variety of dishes. From sandwiches to salads, or as a delectable dipping sauce for fries and veggies, its zingy flavor profile will enhance your meals in delightful ways. Making it from scratch allows you to enjoy the freshest taste, free from preservatives. Enjoy the invigorating blend of lime and chili heat with every bite!
