Cajun Sauce

One of my favorite restaurants is Heidi’s Brooklyn Deli. On many of their sandwiches they use what they call a “Cajun Sauce.” This sauce is sort of like a mix between mayonnaise and hot sauce. One of the employee’s was nice enough to give me the recipe and I have scaled it down to a more normal sized recipe for home use.

1 cup Mayonnaise
1 oz. Honey
¾ oz. Cayenne Pepper

Mix together and chill to blend flavors.

    Thanks for the tip.

    I am not close to any of the Heidi's locations. My wife has re-entered the corporate world and works near the 17th and Lawrence location. Tonight she wanted to make me her version of their sandwich that uses that sauce. I made it as you recommended using Japanese Kewpie mayo and she said it was very close.

      Hello! I made a fermented garlic honey to keep on hand for dinner parties and charcuterie. I decided to use this honey for this sauce with kewpie mayo and blackened seasoning. All I can say is I was hesitant but my picky boyfriend loved it.

Brownies on Steroids

I decided on my 5th week of the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies to make a bar cookie.  I made these a few weeks back and took them to a party and they got rave reviews... my friends like to tease me when I make them desserts asking if I could figure out how to pack more calories into each serving than I already do!  Well these certainly live up to the calorie overload they have learned to expect! In all honesty I did find them to be tasty and a lot like a traditional 7 Layer Bar except with a brownie base instead of the traditional grahm crackers.  I made the recipe as written but I figured in a time pinch you could easily use a box brownie mix made per the instructions on the box and topped with all the yummy toppings.  I have a mixed feeling about them because I personally found there to be too many toppings so I would have probably scaled them back (but take that for what its worth because I am not really into desserts I just like making them) but my friends loved them as is!
