Wasabi Aioli

From My Carolina Kitchen

1 tablespoons wasabi powder

1 tablespoons cold water

1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced

½ teaspoons Dijon mustard

¾ teaspoon lemon juice

1 cup mayonnaise, preferably homemade

Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

Mix wasabi powder and water together to form a paste. In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the wasabi mixture, garlic, mustard and lemon juice. Pulse 5 – 6 times. Add mayonnaise and process until ingredients are well-mixed. Add salt & pepper. Refrigerate and serve. Excellent with rare tuna.
