Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mayonnaise good quality
  • 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
  • 2 small garlic cloves peeled and minced
  • 1 teaspoon unseasoned rice vinegar

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk or Spoon
  • Garlic press (optional)
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Start by measuring out all your ingredients. Having everything ready will make the process smooth and efficient.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon of ancho chili powder. Stir them together until the chili powder is fully incorporated.
  3. Next, add the 2 small minced garlic cloves to the bowl. Mix well to ensure the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the aioli.
  4. Pour in 1 teaspoon of unseasoned rice vinegar. Stir until smooth.
  5. Taste your Ancho Aioli and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more chili powder for heat or extra garlic for a bolder flavor.
  6. Refrigerate the aioli for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve it chilled as a dip or spread on your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the aioli before sealing to prevent browning.
  • Do not freeze; mayonnaise-based sauces do not freeze well.
