Wanna up your sauce game?  Then having a good aioli up your sleeve is essential.  Especially for those days, you run out of ketchup/sauce in the fridge!  Not to mention the fact that you can make some kick-ass aiolis that will take your burger and wedges game up to “boss” level.  This quick chipotle aioli recipe along with my pickled onion recipe on a bacon cheeseburger will knock your socks off!

Chipotle Aioli

Chipotle & Adobo

What are chipotles?  Keeping it simple - chipotles are just dried jalapeños.  They are smoked and dried & are very common in Mexican cuisine.

Often when you see them in the supermarket you will find them in tins or jars saying “chipotle in adobo”.  This means they are preserved in adobo sauce which is a spicy sauce containing vinegar, sugar, tomato, spices and other chilli peppers.  The chipotles are then rehydrated within the adobo sauce and are ready to use.

Personally, I love using them to rub on a steak before grilling or maybe some beef cheeks/short ribs before smoking and slow cooking.  Probably the most popular way you see chipotle is in aioli or mayonnaise.  Hence my quick chipotle aioli recipe can be knocked together in minutes.

Storing Chipotle Aioli

ALWAYS store aioli in an airtight container in the fridge.  I'm a touch anal and like to label any homemade sauces that I make.  I put the date I made it so I know but if you are unsure of shelf life then put a 'best before (bb) date on it'.  Chipotle aioli will keep for 3 - 5 days in the fridge.

Even QUICKER Chipotle Aioli

In a jam?  Sometimes, if I need to make it quicker than 5 minutes OR I didn't have any eggs on hand I would use a couple teaspoons of the adobo sauce you get in the tin and mix it with mayonnaise - quick chipotle aioli 2.0

Feeling a little adventurous?  You can always smoke and dry your own jalapeños at home - great fun but defo a touch more time consuming than buying them in the shop!!

Alternatively

You can go a different chilli route and try these other recipes of mine!  Both of these recipes are pantry (fridge) staples in our home and get used regularly for sandwiches, tacos, burgers etc. so I'd hit them up asap - just saying!

  • Tomato & chilli jam

Notes

Essential Tools

  • chef knives
  • chopping board
  • small blender
  • sieve
  • measuring tools

Tips/Tricks

  • I have made this with both 1 and 2 egg yolks. Both work but adding the 2nd egg yolk makes a firmer aioli so it depends upon of you want it runny or firmer.
  • 3 chipotles is the spice level I like but might be best to start with 2 and see how you go. Chipotles last for AGES in the fridge so you can always make a new batch next week!
  • the amount of olive oil depends upon the eggs used so add oil gradually and check the consistency of your aioli as you make it.
