Peri Peri Mayonnaise - Perinaise
Description
The Peri Peri Mayonnaise, also called Perinaise, starts by combining ground paprika, garlic, and chili powder to form a fragrant, spicy base. Mixing these dry ingredients thoroughly before adding mayonnaise ensures even flavor distribution. Lemon juice adds acidity and brightness, while a pinch of sugar can round out the flavors. Salt is added to taste, enhancing the complex seasoning.
The resulting sauce is smooth, creamy, and moderately spicy depending on the amount of chili used. It carries a smoky undertone from the paprika and a fresh zip from the lemon juice. This mayonnaise can be served immediately or chilled to allow flavors to meld further, making it a versatile condiment.
Perinaise complements grilled meats, sandwiches, or roasted vegetables, adding a spicy and creamy element without overpowering dishes.
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon paprika powder
- ½ - 1 teaspoon African bird eye chili use more or less depending on how spicy you like to have your dip, or cayenne pepper, ground
- ¾ teaspoon garlic ground
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- ½ cup mayonnaise (alternatively, use low-carb or vegan mayo)
- 1½ tablespoon lemon juice (juice from half of a medium-sized lemon)
- salt or more, to taste, a pinch
Instructions
- Start by mixing all dry ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
- Add the mayonnaise and stir until smooth. Next, slowly add the lemon juice, stir again, and then adjust the flavor with a pinch of salt or more as preferred. Once satisfied with the taste, serve your peri peri mayonnaise immediately or store it in the fridge for later.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of African bird eye chili or cayenne pepper to control the spiciness of the mayonnaise.
