Mayo Recipe

Even though it is available ready-made in jars, tubs and tubes the flavour doesn’t compare to a homemade mayonnaise. It’s super easy to make and it’s healthier and you can make a lot of other sauces and dressings from there.

Ingredients:

• 1 Egg
• 1 cup of Canola oil {this measure is aproximate}
• 1 tsp of white vinegar
• 1 small garlic clove
• Pinch of salt
• Black Pepper

Directions

First of all, put the egg yolks into a blender, add the garlic, vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix well all of these together. Then, add a continuous thin drop of oil to the egg mixture and mix this in.
As silly as it may sound, the secret to a great mayonnaise is making sure to be pouring the oil in a very, VERY thin but steady stream, keeping the blender going all the time. Don’t worry, it won’t take all day long, because after a few minutes after you’ve added several drops of oil, the mixture will begin to thicken and go very stiff and lumpy. When all the oil has been added {it’s up to you if you add the whole cup or you can stop when the texture is good enough for you}, taste, adjust the flavouring by adding more vinegar, if desired, and season with a little more salt and black pepper to taste.
The homemade mayonnaise can be served at once or kept in the fridge for up to one day.
