Notes

I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

Red Pepper Mayonnaise

Red Pepper Mayonnaise

2 medium red peppers -- roasted*
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon snipped chives
generous shake cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Puree the roasted peppers until smooth. Combine the pureed peppers, sour cream, mayonnaise, chives, cayenne, and paprika, stirring until well-mixed. Refrigerate until needed. (May be made 1 day in advance.)

*Roast peppers by placing on baking sheet under a hot broiler, turning occasionally, until they are charred on all sides. Remove peppers from broiler and seal in a zipper-type plastic bag for 10-20 minutes. Rinse under cold water and peel skins off. Then core and seed as usual.
