Roasted Garlic Aioli - makes 1 & 1/2 cups

Ingredients:

2 or 3 garlic heads

Extra-virgin olive oil

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 & 1/2 cups mayonnaise

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 & 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Dash of Worcestershire sauce

Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Cut the tops off the garlic heads to expose the cloves. Place them on a large piece of aluminum foil, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the foil into a tight pouch and roast for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Squeeze the pulp from the skins.

3. In a food processor or blender, combine 1/3 cup of the roasted garlic, the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Parmesan, Dijon, cayenne, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper to taste. Pulse until well combined. Refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld together. Garnish with parsley.

NOTE: Roasted garlic aioli is a staple. Make a big batch and keep it in the refrigerator. Use it with French fries, root veggies, bread, steamed veggies, and grill meats.

Homemade Hot Sauce - makes 1 cup

Ingredients:

2 habanera chiles, stems removed, seeded, and cut in half

10 Fresno chiles, stems removed, cut in half lengthwise, seeded, and ribbed

1 medium yellow onion, cut into quarters

2 Roma (plum) tomatoes, cut into quarters

3 garlic cloves

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon paprika

2 & 1/2 tablespoons sugar

1 cup white vinegar

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

2. Toss the habaneras, Fresnos, onion, tomatoes, and garlic with the canola oil. Roast in a single layer until the veggies are charred and tender, about 20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, dice all the veggie into small pieces.

3. Put the veggies in a food processor or blender along with the salt, pepper, lemon juice, paprika, and sugar. Puree until smooth. With the food processor still running, slowly pour in the vinegar in a thin stream until fully incorporated. Taste the sauce and add salt, pepper, and sugar as desired.

4. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a clean bowl, using a rubber spatula to push it through. Let the sieve sit over the bowl for up to 15 minutes to collect any drippings. Transfer the sauce to a sterilized bottle and refrigerate.

NOTE: create your dream condiment and make it as spicy as you want.
