SPICY CHILI AIOLI



Spicy Chili Aioli image

Originally inspired by a local sushi restaurant, I went through a number of different aioli recipes until I finally found a basic combination of ingredients, all of which have become the foundation for this and a couple of other recipes. We enjoy this on just about everything - crab cakes, fish tacos, sushi, vegetables, you name it... If you enjoy this, please also try my curry and saffron aioli recipes for a different twist... A couple of notes with respect to ingredients. Avoid substitutions where possible - I tried a number of different recipes before I arrived at this one, and some of them weren't so pleasant... Please consider using Hellman's original mayonnaise when making this recipe - avoid using Kraft, Miracle Whip, and sweet mayonnaises at all costs. If you use a low fat mayo, I also recommend Hellman's. Chili garlic oil can be found at just about any asian grocery - the main ingredients are garlic, chili, and oil. It is very thick in appearance and looks like the result of dried chilies, garlic, and oil being pureed in the food processor. This isn't to be confused with Sriracha or chili sauce. While chili garlic oil is a great condiment, it tastes very different than chili paste. If you need a photo example of chili garlic oil to assist you in your shopping adventures, z-mail me.

Dip nori-wrapped tuna in soy sauce, then dredge in flour mixture. Fry for 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with fine salt. To Finish: Arrange salad on side of plate. Slice tuna thinly and place next to salad. Drizzle some of the chili sauce around and serve.

CHILI AIOLI



Chili Aioli image

Adapted from a recipe by Michele Humes at Serious Eats. She says, "Use your favorite chili sauce-preferably one with a thicker consistency, such as Sriracha, as a runnier sauce will thin out your aïoli. You can also use cayenne pepper, but the aïoli will be paler in color."

Categories     Sauces

Time 7m

Yield 1/2 cup, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup neutral-flavored vegetable oil, such as canola
2 garlic cloves, very finely minced
fine salt
chili sauce or cayenne pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk together mustard, lemon juice and egg yolk in a bowl.
  • Add oil to yolk mixture a few drops at a time, whisking constantly, until all oil is incorporated and mixture is emulsified.
  • Whisk in garlic and chili sauce (or cayenne pepper) to taste. Season with salt. If aïoli is too thick, whisk in 1 or 2 drops of water; it should be creamy, but much looser in consistency than store-bought mayonnaise.

Categories     Meat

Time 40m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 teaspoons dried ancho chile powder (or more to taste)
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
3 garlic cloves
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 1/4 lbs ground veal (may substitute ground beef or equal amounts of pork, veal and beef)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (to taste) or 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse sea salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
mexican manchego cheese or monterey jack cheese slice
hamburger bun, for serving
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste) or 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill for direct heat. If using a gas grill, preheat to medium-high (450 degrees). If using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal; when the coals are ready, distribute them evenly over the cooking area. For a medium-hot fire, you should be able to hold your hand 6 inches above the coals for 4 or 5 seconds. Use cooking oil spray to grease the grill grate and place on the grill. Have ready a spray water bottle for taming any flames.
  • Combine the ground beef and veal in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the ancho chili powder, onion, garlic, eggs, salt and pepper. Use your hands to shape the meat into 8 to 10 large patties.
  • Arrange the patties on the grill; cook uncovered for 5 minutes per side (medium-well).
  • Meanwhile, make the aioli: Whisk together the mayonnaise, lime zest, lime juice and garlic in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The yield is about 1 cup. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Place a slice of cheese on each hamburger a few minutes before the second sides are done. Transfer to buns for serving, along with the lime aioli.
