Title: Tom's Death By Basil Mayonnaise
Categories: Peppers, Sauces
Yield: 2 cups

2 lg Habanero peppers
6 lg Cloves of garlic
1/2 c Fresh basil
1 3/4 c Mayonnaise

Collect the basil and wash and remove the leaves. Allow to dry.
Measure the basil. 1/2 cup is a 1/2 cup measurer packed with as
much basil as you can get into it.

Remove the stems and seeds from the habanero. Be careful...

Mince the basil, habaneros and garlic in a food processor until
finely minced.

Mix with the mayonnaise (I prefer low-fat Hellmans). Refrigerate
at least 2 days for the flavors to marry. I keep it in a 1 pint
canning jar.

The basil flavor is dominant with just enough heat from the peppers
to let you know they are there. This goes great on many types of
sandwiches.

The recipe was prompted by a comment from someone that basil can be
used instead of lettuce on sandwiches. This is an easy way to
accomplish this and get a little heat at the same time. It is
delicious.
