Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe

Cuisine
Description

This homemade mayonnaise recipe transforms simple, everyday ingredients into a creamy and versatile condiment, perfect for a variety of dishes

Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (optional)
  • 1.5 tablespoon (for preservation)
  • 1 Egg
  • 220 milliliters oil (preferably a light oil like sunflower or canola)
Instructions
  1. Prepare the Base

    In a medium bowl, combine the egg, mustard, garlic (if using), salt, and black pepper

  2. Blend Together

    Using a whisk or an immersion blender, blend these ingredients until well mixed. If you're using a blender or food processor, simply add these ingredients to the appliance

  3. Slowly Add Oil

    Begin to slowly drizzle in the oil while continuously whisking or blending. This step is crucial: the oil needs to be added slowly to ensure the mixture emulsifies and thickens. If you pour the oil in too quickly, the mayonnaise may not thicken properly.

  4. Add Vinegar or Lemon Juice

    Once you've added all the oil and the mixture has thickened to a mayonnaise consistency, add the white vinegar or lemon juice. Blend or whisk again to incorporate. This not only adds flavor but also helps in preservation.

  5. Taste and Adjust

    Taste your mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or acid (vinegar/lemon juice) to suit your taste

  6. Store Properly

    Store your homemade mayonnaise in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator. It should keep for up to a week

Note
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the egg, as this helps in emulsification.
  • If the mayonnaise seems too thick, you can thin it with a little bit of water or additional vinegar/lemon juice.
  • For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs or spices that you enjoy.

Enjoy your homemade mayonnaise!
