Mayonnaise

Mayo 2

 

 

 

 

 

 

Making your own mayonnaise takes just 5 minutes. The end result is a very creamy and flavorful mayonnaise which can serve as a base for a lot of creative flavors and ideas. My general rule is: why buy when you can make yours…without the preservatives and ingredients you can’t pronounce? This mayonnaise recipe can also serve as a base for making salad dressings like Caesar dressing and ranch dressing.

TOOLS:

(1) 1 Large Mixing Bowl

(2) A Study Whisk.

(3) 1 sheet of paper towel

(4) A clean kitchen napkin or towel

Note: If making mayonnaise in large quantity. a food processor can be used. An immersion blender can also be used in place of a whisk.

INGREDIENTS:

(1) l Egg Yolk

(2) 1/2 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard

(3) About 1 Cup Neural Tasting Oil Like Peanut, Corn, Canola or a Mild Tasting Olive Oil

(4) 1/4 Teaspoon Salt

(5) 1 Teaspoon White Wine Vinegar

(6) 1/2 Teaspoon Lemon Juice

PROCEDURE:

(1) Place egg yolk, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, lemon juice and salt in a large bowl. Rest the bowl on a napkin so it is stable. Use a kitchen cloth or towel to help secure the bowl in place.

(3) With a whisk in one hand and oil in the other, start whisking the yolk mixture while pouring the oil in drizzles. Keep whisking till you achieve a thick and creamy mayonnaise.

(4) Taste and adjust salt if needed. This mayonnaise is your blank canvas on which you can add a lot of things. You can spice it up with some pepper, add some paprika to make some paprika mayonnaise to serve with plantain fries or add some more lemon juice and serve with some Crispy Fried Calamari. The possibilities are endless.
