Saturday: Chipotle-lime mayonnaise

This is a standard mayo variation that turned out great.

1 egg yolk
juice of 1 lime
two chipotles in adobo
1 cup canola oil
a good pinch of kosher salt and grind of black pepper

Throw the egg yolk, lime juice, chillis, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor with about a Tbs of the oil. [Note: I'm willing to do loads of "extra" work as part of cooking, but making mayo by hand strikes me as a sucker's game.] Blend well. With the machine on high, slowly add the remaining oil in a continuous stream. That's it.
