Description

This copycat recipe creates the classic in-n-out spread with a unique twist, adding a smoky harissa and roasted red pepper swirl. The sauce is easy to make and perfect for burgers, sandwiches, or as a dipping sauce for fries.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (alcohol-free or regular)
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon finely minced white onion
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon gluten-free tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 1/4 teaspoon mushroom powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup jarred roasted red bell pepper (drained)
  • 2 teaspoons harissa paste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine Base Spread: Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, minced white onion, sugar, white vinegar, tamari, mushroom powder (if using), black pepper, and salt in a medium bowl until fully incorporated and smooth.
  2. Prepare Harissa Puree: In a food processor or blender, blend the drained roasted red bell pepper, harissa paste, and lemon juice until a smooth puree forms.
  3. Swirl Puree into Base: Add approximately two-thirds of the red pepper puree to the base spread. Gently fold the puree into the spread 2-3 times, creating distinct ribbons and streaks for a marble effect.
  4. Chill Spread: Transfer the swirled spread to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. A longer chilling time of up to 2 hours is recommended.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Spoon the chilled spread into a serving bowl. Drizzle with the remaining red pepper puree and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh chives before serving.

Notes

For the richest flavor and texture, use full-fat mayonnaise. Do not substitute the distilled white vinegar with apple cider vinegar, as it has a significantly different flavor profile. The sauce will thicken as it chills, so do not skip the chilling step for best results. This sauce does not freeze well.
