Mayonnaise

Homemade mayo is another one of those things that I just won't buy store-bought anymore because the real thing is too good, and too easy. If you have an immersion/stick blender it comes together in quite literally two minutes.

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard

  • 1 clove garlic, grated

  • 200 millilitres neutral oil

  • 1 pinch fine sea salt

Method:

  1. Add the egg, lemon juice, mustard, and garlic to a tub or jar.

  2. You'll need an immersion/hand blender for this, so make sure the vessel fits the head of the blender.

    1. This might work with a food processor, but no promises.

  3. Pour the oil gently over the top and allow to settle.

  4. Gently dip the immersion blender into the tub/jar and allow to touch the bottom.

  5. Holding the blender completely vertically, spin at high speed until mayonnaise.

  6. Everything should come together very quickly, don't over-blend or do anything fancy.

  7. Give it a stir, and store airtight in the fridge for 1-2 weeks, if it lasts that long.
