Fresh mayo



Ingredients :
  • 2 free-range egg yolks
  • 1 tsp. of Dijon mustard
  • 500 ml mixed oils (olive oil and vegetable oil)
  • 1-2 tbsp. white vinegar
  • ½ Lemon
  • Sea salt
Method :
  1. Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl, then add the mustard and whisk together. 
  2. Gradually add about half the oil, very slowly at first, whisking continuously for around 3 to 5 minutes, or until thickened. 
  3. 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. 
  4. Continue to gradually add the remaining oil, whisking continuously. 
  5. Season with a pinch of salt, a squeeze of lemon juice and a little more vinegar, if needed. 
  6. Store in a sterilised jar in the fridge for up to one week.
  7. You can used blender, food processor - if you think that whisking by hand is hard for you.
