Description

Garlic and cayenne pepper mayonnaise is a creamy and spicy sauce that combines the smoothness and creaminess of traditional mayonnaise with the potent flavor of garlic and the characteristic spicy touch of cayenne pepper. This mixture provides a perfect balance between creaminess and spiciness, ideal for enhancing the flavor of meats, fish, vegetables, and sandwiches.

Origin: Mayonnaise is a sauce originating from European cuisine, specifically from France or Spain, while the incorporation of garlic and cayenne pepper responds to influences from Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, where spiciness is a key element. Cayenne pepper comes from the Capsicum frutescens variety of chilies, native to tropical America.

Properties: This mayonnaise is not only delicious but also provides nutritional benefits. Garlic is known for its antibacterial and antioxidant properties, in addition to helping improve circulation. Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, a compound that can accelerate metabolism and has anti-inflammatory effects.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: Depending on the region, this preparation may be known as mayonesa con ajo y chile de cayena, mayonesa picante de ajo, or simply as salsa de mayonesa con ají y ajo. In some countries, cayenne pepper may be called ají colorado or chile rojo.
