Tips

Make sure to finely chop the chillies for an even distribution of their flavour throughout the mayo. When the chillies are finely chopped, their taste will be spread evenly, ensuring that every spoonful or bite of mayo delivers a balanced amount of chilli flavour. If they are roughly chopped or in larger pieces, you may end up with some bites that have a concentrated burst of spiciness, while others may have milder flavours. Finely chopping the chillies helps prevent this imbalance.

Tips

When making your chilli mayo, you have the choice between using store-bought mayonnaise or making your own from scratch. Store-bought mayo offers convenience and accessibility but creating your own mayonnaise can be a rewarding and flavourful experience. It can add a unique and fresh flavour to your chilli mayo, while also providing you with complete control over the ingredients, allowing you to customise it to your specific taste preferences. Whether you opt for the store-bought or the homemade option, the key is to find a mayonnaise that you enjoy and that complements the flavours of the chilli peppers.

With spicy sriracha and tart lime

For an extra fiery and refreshing kick, this chilli mayo is infused with spicy sriracha and tangy lime. Sriracha brings the heat with a garlicky twist, giving the mayo depth and excitement. Lime, on the other hand, adds a refreshing and citrusy kick that cuts through the richness of the mayo, creating a vibrant contrast of flavours. The creamy mayo acts as a smooth, velvety canvas, letting the sriracha and lime flavours blend harmoniously. The result? A chilli mayonnaise that is bold, zesty, and creamy, packing a flavour punch in every bite.

Use your sriracha chilli mayo as a dipping or spread

Unleash the versatility of your homemade sriracha chilli mayo by using it as a delicious dipping sauce or spread. As a dipping sauce, it pairs wonderfully with crispy chips, creating a delightful fusion of heat and tang. It also serves as a fantastic accompaniment to barbecued or roasted meats, elevating the smoky flavours with its creamy and fiery profile. For a refreshing twist, serve it alongside fresh vegetable crudités, allowing the cool and crunchy veggies to complement the zesty kick of the sriracha chilli mayo. And when used as a spread, generously slather it on burgers or sandwiches, infusing each bite with a burst of flavour that will leave everyone craving more.

Find the right flavour profile for you

When it comes to making chilli mayo, it is all about choosing the right chilli peppers to match your spice preferences. There is a large variety to choose from, such as jalapeno, serrano, or cayenne peppers. If you want a milder flavour, remove the seeds and membranes, but if you are feeling bold and want some extra heat, keep them in. The great thing is you are in control of the spiciness. Start with a small amount of chilli peppers, taste, and then decide if you want to fire up the heat. Add more peppers gradually until you reach your desired level of spiciness. Remember, it is always easier to add more spice than to tone it down, so take it step by step.
