Anyone have recipes for mayonnaise?
Not how to make it, but recipes that spice up mayo.
I used to do one years ago, looked all over for it, and cannot find it.
I just remember it was yummy.
Anyone spice up their existing salve?
"Mayo." "Yummy."
It looks like somebody's trying to be hip, cool, with it.

1. When I make my own mayonnaise, I always throw in a few garlic cloves - I use the Cuisinart - and some cayenne. Gives it just the right tang.
But, I also stir in some powdered chipolte, or some powdered wasabi, or powdered horseradish, or dry mustard (the hot Oriental kind, not the Colman's that's used in the mayo recipe), or some powdered onion, although that's not a big favorite.
All those flavors come from Penzey's, but perhaps the favorite around here recently is the mayo with smoked paprika stirred it. A GREAT dip for cold chicken and/or shrimp, or raw vegetables.
+1 for the Rita Hayworth primitive, for avoiding that abominable "veggies."
In fact, +5 for the Rita Hayworth primitive, for that.

2. I don't really "make" mayonnaise
Just because I don't eat it that much
But when I buy it, I tend to get it one of three ways...
- Regular (duh)
- Chipotle or Cajun
- Wasabi
The wasabil one adds an interesting dimension to your sandwich (but you have to like wasabi, obviously)
-
For the DUmmies I would recommend this, but I'm sure they drink it straight.

About the only thing I'll do to mayo is add some lime juice, for when I have an artichoke.

I used to work for a place that added red wine (boiled down to a syrup) and roasted garlic to some off-the-shelf mayo for their steak and cheese sandwiches. It was excellent.

I just add Horseradish................what more ya need
-
If you make your own aioli or mayo, more power to you.
I like this stuff:
