Homemade mayonnaise
If every dish has a hero, the sauce is its super powers. Mayonnaise is not only delicious and versatile, it naturally dairy and gluten free. Try making traditional home made mayonnaise yourself with this easy recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 free-range egg yolks
- 1 heaped teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 500 ml mixed oils
- 1-2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- ½ lemon
- Sea salt
Method:
1. Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl, then add the mustard and whisk together. Gradually add about half the oil, very slowly at first, whisking continuously for around 3 to 5 minutes, or until thickened.
2. Once you’ve added about half the oil, whisk in 1 tablespoon of vinegar – this will loosen the mixture slightly and give it a paler colour. Continue to gradually add the remaining oil, whisking continuously.
3. Season with a pinch of salt, a squeeze of lemon juice and a little more vinegar, if needed. Store in a sterilised jar in the fridge for up to one week.
