How to make Jalapeno pumpkin seed aioli

Slice the jalapeño's into four pieces including the seeds. Place all of the slices into a vitamix. Add pumpkin seeds and cilantro. Turn on the vitamix for 10 seconds just to break the big pieces up a bit.
Then add the olive oil to the blender. Puree until completely smooth. Season with salt and set aside. (you might need to add a touch more oil to make a smooth puree)
Then in a small bowl combine vegenaise/mayo with a 1/2 cup of the jalapeno sauce. Season and set aside.
