Fallout 76 Recipe: Blood Leaf Aioli
Learn how to make the perfect Fallout themed recipe, blood leaf aioli dipping sauce, for a plate of roasted tatos!
This dipping sauce is top tier and a favorite in our home.
It's easy to make, has a bit of a kick and is the perfect "grown-up" elevated fry sauce!
Aioli is a Mediterranean sauce or condiment that originated in the Provence region of France.
Traditionally, it is made by whisking minced garlic, salt and egg yolks then gradually combined with olive oil to create a creamy texture. (it's basically a garlic mayo)
This process creates a thick and creamy texture. Some variations may include additional ingredients like lemon juice or Dijon mustard for added flavor complexity.
Aioli is known for its rich garlic taste and is often used as a dip for vegetables, a spread for sandwiches or burgers, or as a flavorful accompaniment to seafood and grilled meats.
It is a versatile condiment that can be customized with various herbs and spices to suit different dishes and preferences.
This is also copycat recipe similar to the Raising Cane's dipping sauce.
Honestly, the dipping fry sauce was our favorite part of that restaurant.
Raising Cane's felt like going to an over-priced fast food place that was made to satisfy an entire generation of kids raised on chicken nuggets...who are now a little older but still want the same food.
It definitely has a more adult palette, but it's just chicken, fries, bread and dipping sauce.
Still, we absolutely loved the dipping sauce with slight kick--and it was worth the cost of the chicken tenders to learn about it!
Let's go back to the wastelands of Fallout.
In Fallout 76, there's a recipe called: Mirelurk Cake and Blood Leaf Aioli.
I wanted to just highlight this aioli as a single recipe because it is so good.
I matched it with oven baked tatos.
I know a tato in Fallout looks more like a tomato, but I can't resist using that terminology for this recipe.
This recipe has a cajun kick, and a rich black pepper spice, so it's the perfect pairing with anything that is salty or starchy.
This blood leaf aioli dipping sauce is absolutely perfect with Nuka-Dogs, Mirelurk meat, scorchbeast steak, Brahmin Burgers and more!
Pair it with a hot dog from Betty Hill and a Nuka Cola after finishing the Tunnel of Love event at Nuka on Tour!
Ingredients Needed for Blood Leaf Aioli:
(Copycat Raising Cane's Fry Sauce)
- 1 Cup Best Foods (or Hellmans) Real Mayonnaise
- 1 Cup Tomato Ketchup (Simply with no artificial sweeteners)
- 1 Tablespoons Cajun Spice Seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons Black Pepper
Step 1: Blood Leaf Aioli
Add one cup of mayo and one cup of ketchup to a medium size mixing bowl.
Mix here if desired to incorporate them into each other in the perfect fry sauce.
(side note: I can't stand the smell of ketchup, and yet, I love this sauce, and I think the blood leaf vibe would make the sauce pinkish in color)
Step 2: Cajun Spice Seasoning
Next, add one tablespoon of Cajun or Creole spice seasoning to the mixture of mayo and ketchup.
This is the secret ingredient to give the dipping sauce the perfect kick--add more if it's not kicky enough for you.
Step 3: Black Pepper
Now add 2 tablespoons of fresh ground black pepper into the mix...or just ground pepper of any variety.
The black pepper adds to the kick and gives the dip a little depth--plus it makes it so pretty.
Step 4: Mix Dipping Sauce
Now mix the dipping sauce until smooth and incorporated.
The flecks of black pepper are such a pleasing visual component in this aioli.
It can be served immediately of course.
However, if you make it a day ahead, and place in an air tight container in the fridge for about 24 hours, it gives the flavors time to infuse into the sauce.
(side note: I hardly ever plan ahead, especially when it comes to food preparation)
This blood leaf aioli dipping sauce lasts in the fridge for 2 weeks (or so) and gets better over time!
We love it as the perfect condiment on hamburgers, fries, onion rings, corn dogs and breaded chicken tenders or nuggets.
Anywhere you would typically use a fry sauce, ketchup or dip, give this grown-up dipping sauce a try!
I love dip.
I sometimes base my whole meal planning around what kind of dipping sauce I want to eat...then I plan accordingly.
That's it!
I think you will love this Blood Leaf Aioli dipping sauce inspired by Fallout!
It's got a creamy fry sauce base with Cajun and pepper to give it the perfect spicy kick!
It's the perfect "grown up" dipping sauce for all dippers.
