Preparation

1. Beat egg yolk until thick and sticky.
2. Add the mustard and vinegar and beat some more.
3. Carefully add the olive oil a few droplets at the time. If you add too much at once the mayonnaise will curdle. The mayonnaise should be extremely thick.
4. Peel the tomatoes and pass the juice and pulp through a fine sieve until you have 1 cup juice.
5. Put 1/4 cup mayonnaise into a bowl. Reserve the rest for another use. Slowly beat tomato juice into mayonnaise. The sauce should be smooth and velvety.

• Serve with seafood mousse or pate, poached salmon or whitefleshed fish.
