Jamaican Sorrel Aioli is a flavorful twist on traditional mayonnaise. The bright, tangy flavor of the sorrel leaves combines well with the richness of mayonnaise to create a unique take on a classic dipping sauce. Sorrel leaves are a popular ingredient in Jamaican cuisine and are known for their distinctive sour flavor and bright red color. This aioli is perfect for dipping chicken wings, sandwiches or even french fries. It's a delicious and nutritious addition to any meal.

Instructions

1.	In a food processor or blender, pulse sorrel leaves and chives until finely chopped.
2.	Add egg yolk, lemon juice, and salt. Pulse until well combined.
3.	With the food processor or blender running, slowly pour in oil in a thin stream until the mixture becomes thick and the texture of mayonnaise. Scrape the sides of the bowl and continue to blend until smooth.
4.	Serve the aioli with chicken wings, sandwiches or french fries.
5.	Enjoy!
