Recipe Notes

Don’t let the name of this recipe scare you. It is spicy but not over the top, and the chili flavor comes out more aromatic than hot. Gently simmering the shallots, pepper flakes, and black pepper together mellows the flavor and the maple syrup adds a bit of sweetness. This is great on a green salad, but it’s also good as a spread on sandwiches. You could even use it in place of mayonnaise in tuna or egg salads.

"Chili, spice of red Thursday, which is the day of reckoning."
