Join Eric from Simply Elegant Home Cooking as he demonstrates the recipe for this delicious dipping sauce! The Calabrian Chili peppers have a unique flavor that combines heat with an additional element of smokiness and saltiness. For best results, use roasted garlic (see the link below for the steps).

Ingredients:
-6 Calabrian chili peppers, stems removed
-2 cloves roasted garlic
-1 egg yolk
-1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil plus enough neutral flavored oil to equal ½ cup total
-1/3 lemon, juiced
-salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
-Combine all ingredients, except for the oil, in a food processor.
-Pulse several times to break up the peppers and garlic.
-Turn the blade onto a constant spin at high power and SLOWLY add in the oil. It is very important to add the oil slowly when making an aioli as this will prevent the sauce from breaking.
-Serve and enjoy!
