HOME MADE MAYONNAISE
Recipe courtesy of: Grow It, Know It
INGREDIENTS
1 large egg at room temperature
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or ground mustard
1 tablespoon red or white wine vinegar or lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
1 cup neutral flavored oil like grapeseed, safflower canola, or vegetable oil.
1 additional teaspoon fresh lemon juice is optional
PREPARATION
STEP ONE • PREPARE THE EGGS Boil enough water to pour over your un-cracked eggs. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the eggs out of the boil-ing water after 30 seconds. Let cool. STEP TWO • PREPARE THE MIXING BOWL OR BLENDER Crack and add egg, mustard, vinegar, and salt to the bowl of a food processor and process for 20 seconds. Or just mix it with a whisk. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl free of mix and turn the food processor or blender on or get that whisk to mixing! STEP THREE • DRIZZLE CRIZZLE Begin to slowly (and we mean slowly!!) drizzle the oil in a tiny tiny stream until about 1/4 of the oil has been added. At this point you should begin to notice the mixture beginning to thicken and emulsify. Once this happens, you can be a little less strict with how slowly the oil is added. Continue to add the remaining oil in a still very thin stream. STEP FOUR • PREPARE THE SANDWICH But before you do, taste your mayonnaise. Do you desire a pinch of salt, some black pepper, or a little lemon juice? Maybe a little paprika or hot sauce or roasted garlic! Make your sandwich of choice and enjoy your very own mayonnaise!
