Chipotle Honey Mustard
Description
This Chipotle Honey Mustard sauce blends equal parts yellow and Dijon mustard with honey and mayonnaise to create a creamy base. The addition of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and some of the adobo sauce itself imparts a smoky, spicy flavor. The salt balances the sweet and savory elements.
Mixing all ingredients in a food processor or with an immersion blender produces a smooth sauce, but it can also be made by finely mincing the chipotle peppers for a textured finish. Adjust the chipotle and adobo quantities for desired spice levels.
This sauce is versatile for use with grilled meats, sandwiches, dipping sauces, or as a salad dressing base. It complements dishes needing a smoky-sweet accent.
Additional spices like cayenne, red pepper flakes, or hot sauce can be incorporated to increase heat. The recipe makes about six 2-tablespoon servings.
Ingredients
- 3 TBSP yellow mustard
- 3 TBSP Dijon mustard
- 3 TBSP mayonnaise homemade or store-bought, quality
- 3 TBSP honey
- 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- ½ tsp adobo sauce (extra to taste)
- ⅛ tsp salt
Instructions
- Simply combine all the above ingredients and blend using a small food processor or immersion blender - it's that easy!
- No appliances handy? No problem! You can either mince the peppers up and leave the sauce a little more textured or simply skip the chipotle peppers entirely and just use extra adobo sauce from the jar to whisk into your honey mustard. Start with a little and add extra to taste!
Notes
- Add cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or hot sauce to increase spiciness according to preference.
- If you lack blending equipment, finely mince chipotle peppers and mix thoroughly for a textured sauce.
- Use leftover chipotle peppers in other smoky dishes to prevent waste.
- This recipe yields approximately six servings of 2 tablespoons each.
