Home Made Luxurious Mayonnaise
Serves 4-6
Takes 10 minutes
Ingredients:
• 2 medium egg yolks from Faye’chickens/any other chicken!!
• 1tsp Dijon mustard
• 200ml vegetable oil (can use olive oil but has a stronger flavour and is more expensive!)
• 1 tsp of lemon juice or white wine vinegar
Method :
1. Place a folded cloth underneath a medium bowl to stop it sliding while you whisk. Add egg yolks, mustard and a little seasoning, and whisk well until smooth.
2. Add the oil in a slow, steady trickle, whisking with you other hand, until about two-thirds of the oil is incorporated. (Important to add slowly or it will split and not emulsify properly!)
*TIP* - If you have a food processor put eggs and mustard in and leave motor running while you gradually add oil through the open funnel at the top. This will save your arm aching!!
3. Whisk in lemon juice or white wine vinegar,
then whisk remaining oil in a steady stream. If it is too thick whisk in 1-2 teaspoons of warm water to give a consistency that you like.
Yummy!
