About the recipe
I love using a mixture of oils when making mayo – mild oils like rapeseed, vegetable or light olive oils all work really well.
Recipe From
Ingredients
2 free-range egg yolks
1 heaped teaspoon Dijon mustard
500ml mixed oils (see my tip)
1-2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
½ lemon
sea salt
Method
- Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl, then add the mustard and whisk together.
- Gradually add about half the oil, very slowly at first, whisking continuously for around 3 to 5 minutes, or until thickened.
- 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.
- Continue to gradually add the remaining oil, whisking continuously.
- Season with a pinch of salt, a squeeze of lemon juice and a little more vinegar, if needed.
- Store in a sterilised jar in the fridge for up to one week.
