How to make a classic french mayonnaise sauce: a delicious sauce that goes perfectly with cold meats, sandwiches, boiled eggs, slaw and more. Done in a couple of minutes, tastes better and healthier than any shop bought alternatives.
Ingredients:
1 egg yolk,
150 ml groundnut or sunflower oil,
Tsp (~3/4 the size of the yolk) dijon mustard,
Pinch of salt,
Pinch of freshly grounded black pepper,
1/2 tsp vinegar.
Method:
In a large bowl add the egg yolk, the Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper. Using a whisk, mix all of these ingredients together to create the base of the mayonnaise.
While whisking, start adding the oil little by little, using nothing more then a table spoon at a time. Make sure that all the oil you add is well incorporated in the mix before you add more. Repeat the process until all of the oil has been used.
Couple of minutes whisking will give a rich and creamy authentic mayonnaise. Use right away, or place in a container and refrigerate.
