Equipment
- Gas burner or grill
- medium bowl

Ingrediënten
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Blackening Spice
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon hot sauce such as Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
Instructies
- Roast the red pepper by placing it over an open flame on a hot grill or gas burner.
- Turn it frequently until the skin has charred and starts to blister from the flame.
- This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Place the roasted pepper in a small bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or seal it in an airtight container.
- Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- This allows the skin to separate from the flesh, making it easier to peel.
- Once cooled, peel off all the charred skin and remove the seeds from the pepper.
- Mince the roasted pepper as finely as possible and place it in a medium bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients – mayonnaise, Blackening Spice, kosher salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce to the bowl with the minced pepper.
- Whisk the ingredients together until well incorporated.
- Use immediately as a spread for Po’ Boys, Popcorn Shrimp, raw veggies, or sandwiches, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Wine Pairing:
This smoky red pepper aioli would pair well with a light-bodied white wine such as Chardonnay or a crisp rosé. The acidity in the wine will complement the tangy kick of the aioli.Nutritional Information
