Mayonnaise

10 minutes to produce a smooth, glossy and preservative free delicious mayonnaise.

Serves 6                              Preparation time 10 mins Cost per portion £ 0.10

Method
1. Whisk the yolks, mustard and vinegar together lightly in a large bowl.
2. Add one drop of oil to the yolk mixture and whisk it in well (easier with an electric whisk).
3. Keep adding one drop of oil at a time, making sure each drop is whisked in and blended well before adding the next drop.
4. After a few minutes the mixture will start to thicken, then you can add the oil a tablespoon at a time until all the oil has been added.
5. If you prefer the mayonnaise a bit lighter, add the 2 teaspoons of boiling water at the end, and if you want to make garlic mayonnaise add the crushed garlic as well.

Ingredients
2 yolks
1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 ½ teaspoons white wine vinegar
300 mls groundnut oil
¼  teaspoon salt
1 clove crushed garlic (optional)
2 teaspoons boiling water (optional)

Additional Information
It’s best to use the mayonnaise as soon as it has been made as it contains raw egg; if not using it straight away keep it in the fridge in a clean airtight container or jar for 2 or 3 days at the most.
Mayonnaise can be spiced up with garlic, herbs, wasabi, chilli or whatever takes your fancy…..
