Ingredients
- 1 large Roasted red pepper
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
If using a fresh red pepper, roast it over an open flame or under the broiler until the skin is charred and blistered all around. Place the roasted pepper in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it steam for 5 minutes. Peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and set the pepper aside to cool. If using jarred roasted red peppers, skip this step and proceed to the next.
Step 2
In a small food processor or blender, combine the roasted red pepper, garlic clove, mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Step 4
Taste the aioli and adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to your preference.
Step 5
Transfer the red pepper aioli to a serving bowl or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Step 6
Serve chilled as a dip, spread, or sauce with your favorite dishes.
