Chipotle mayonnaise
The creaminess of mayonnaise and the deep, earthy heat of chipotle peppers (smoked, dried jalapeño) make a perfect pair. This sauce doesn't just bite, it flavours: the smoky aroma elevates any sandwich or chips to a gourmet dish.

Instructions
1
✓
Chop the chipotle peppers and garlic very finely, or crush into a paste.
Tip: If you want a smoother sauce, blend with a small part of the mayonnaise using a stick blender, then mix in the rest.
2
✓
Mix the mayonnaise with the pepper paste, adobo sauce, crushed garlic, and lime juice.
Tip: The acidity of the lime counteracts the richness of the mayonnaise, making the overall effect fresher.
3
✓
Salt to taste and add more lime if necessary. Leave to stand in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Tip: During resting, the flavours meld (diffusion), and the dried spices hydrate.
