Introduce the recipe for chipotle aioli, also known as chipotle mayo.

Gather all ingredients: chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, extra light olive oil, 1 egg yolk, 1/3 lemon, and 2 cloves of roasted garlic.

Separate the egg yolk from the white and place the yolk into a food processor.

Juice the 1/3 lemon and add the juice to the food processor.

Add the two cloves of roasted garlic to the food processor.

Add two chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to the food processor, along with some of the sauce.

Sprinkle in a pinch of paprika, a pinch of cumin, cracked black pepper, and Himalayan salt into the food processor.

Blitz the mixture in the food processor to combine the ingredients before adding the oil.

Slowly add the extra light olive oil while the food processor is running to create an emulsion.

Stop the food processor, remove the lid, and use a spatula to scrape down the sides and ensure everything is mixed well.

Give the mixture another quick blitz in the food processor until well combined.

Taste the chipotle aioli and describe its flavor profile as smoky, spicy, and creamy.
