Mayonnaise

easy home made mayonnaise

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Serving Size: Makes about 2 cups

Ingredients

• 2 egg yolks (free range and very fresh eggs)
• 2 T red wine vinegar
• 1 T lemon juice
• 2 t Dijon mustard
• 1 t salt
• 3 cloves of garlic crushed (totally optional)
• a pinch or 2 of sugar
• black pepper (as much as you like)
• 2 cups of canola oil
• 
  

Instructions

1. In the food processor briefly blend the eggs, vinegar, lemon, garlic, sugar and mustard.
2. With the blade running slowly add the canola oil in a slow stream until it has all emulsified.
3. Check the taste and add the salt and pepper and any other seasoning you may like.
4. If it is very thick add a tablespoon or 2 of warm water to thin it down.
5. Store in a sterilised jar in the fridge until you need it.
6. Bear in mind that you are using fresh eggs so the life span will be shorter than store bought mayonnaise which is filled with preservatives. I found it easier to make this quantity vs a half batch, so needed to give some of it away as a gift.
