Homemade Sundried Tomato Aioli

I made this for on top of black bean burgers and it is absolutely AMAZING! I found a recipe online and improvised off of it since I lacked about half of the essential ingredients - I love it when accidents turn out great!

- 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes
- 1 whole egg (i found a recipe for mayo that called for just the yolk and another that used the whole egg)
- 1 glove of garlic
- olive oil
- cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard

So you can do this with a wisk, a blender, or a food processor (I used food processor) but the main thing with mayo is to add the oil SLOWLY. So I added the egg, pepper, lime juice, vinegar, and mustard to the food processor and turned it on until everything was blended. At that point I started adding olive oil, with the food processor on, little by little. I ran out of oil so I strained some oil from the sundried tomatoes as well. After it becomes recognizably mayonnaise, I added the clove of garlic and tomatoes and continued blending.

It's killer on sandwiches or as a dip and the cayenne gives it an awesome POP!
