Recipe Introduction
Very easy. You can play around with the acid you use – do half lemon juice and half vinegar. Try a flavored vinegar, if you like!
List of Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2 large egg yolks
- ½ t. + ½ to 1 t. dry or Dijon mustard
- 2 t. + 1 ½ to 3 t. fresh lemon juice or vinegar
- ½ t. salt
- 1 ½ c. oil, room temperature
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Add the egg, the egg yolks and the ½ t. mustard to the blender and blend on high speed until well blended, about 5 seconds. Scrape down the sides, then sprinkle with the 2 t. vinegar/lemon and ½ t. salt.
- Blend for about 2 minutes. With the blender running, add the oil in the thinnest possible stream. After about 1/3 of the oil has been added – the mixture will have swollen and stiffened – add the oil in a slightly thicker stream. Stop the blender when all has been added and scrape down the sides and around the blade, mixing in any unabsorbed oil.
- If you want a thicker sauce, add up to ¼ c. oil in the same way as above. If you want a thinner sauce, add light or heavy cream, at room temperature.
- Taste the mayonnaise and stir in the additional lemon juice/vinegar, mustard and salt and pepper, to taste.
