There is this burger place called Stacked where you build your own burger/ salad/ pizza/ pasta via an ipad at the table. It’s a total novelty, but also the ingredients are legit and make for a great burger. It was at Stacked where I discovered red pepper aioli. You guys, I don’t really like bell peppers, and aioli sometimes grosses me out, depending on the consistency, but this red pepper aioli was the bomb.com. I had to recreate it, and last night I finally did. Excuse the lack of photos, but its a pretty simple recipe.
What you need:
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 red bell peppers
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
What to do:
- Cook garlic in a saucepan on medium high with olive oil, about 5 minutes.
- Place the red peppers directly on a stovetop gas burner over high heat and char on all sides, turning with tongs, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside, 20 minutes. Peel the skin off the peppers with your fingers; discard the stems and seeds and chop.
- Make the aioli: Puree the roasted red peppers in a blender with the mayonnaise, garlic and oil, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
I got the aioli recipe from this Food Network Magazine recipe. I just topped grilled chicken with the aioli and served with grilled veggies on the side. It was DELICIOUS. Also note that it made quite a bit of aioli… I have at least 8 ounces left.
