Chipotle Aioli

We serve this sauce with our Dungeness crab cakes, but you can serve with a variety of dishes. It has just enough spice!

Chipotle Aioli

This sauce tastes best if made a day ahead, but if you're in a hurry, it's still great served the same day. I purée an entire 7-ounce can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and store in the refrigerator so that I usually have this ingredient readily available.
