Chipotle mayonnaise

Tinned chipotle chillies are stocked in delis and spice shops. If you’d like a bit of heat in your mayo, add a little more chipotle purée.

MAKES ABOUT 350 G (12 OZ/1½ CUPS)

60 g (2¼ oz) chipotle chillies in adobo sauce

250 g (9 oz) mayonnaise

1½ tablespoons lime juice

Blend the chipotle chillies in a small food processor to form a paste. Push through a sieve, into a bowl.

Add the mayonnaise and the lime juice and stir to combine.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge, where it will keep for up to 2 weeks.
