Homemade Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is an ingredient you always need to have available.

I can't abide the ready made shop bought mayonnaise;

it always tastes like plastic.

Here's a quick and easy recipe for this wonderful classic

that you can have ready for when you need it.

If you prefer to have vinegar in your mayonnaise,

leave out the lemon juice and use about 30ml vinegar to replace it.

Ingredients:

2 egg yolks

2 eggs

15ml Dijon mustard

Juice of half a lemon

5ml caster sugar

200ml vegetable oil

200ml olive oil

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to season

Method:

Blend all the ingredients except the oil in a food processor for 10-15 seconds, or until well combined. In a glass jug, blend the two oils. While the motor is running, pour the oil into the food processor very slowly until well combined and the mixture is thick and glossy. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Store in a sterilised glass jar in the fridge for up to a week.
