Mayo
This is a simple and quick recipe for clean mayo (chemical preservative free) and I'm sure others have similar recipes to this, so by no means would I consider this soley "my" recipe. Use as a base for dressings, sauces, aiolis, etc.
Immersion blender
Measuring cups
Measuring spoons
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp lime juice (this is a rough estimate - 1-2 limes worth, depending on the lime)
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 cup light olive oil (any oil will do, but the lighter the flavor the better)
Add all ingredients in the bottom of a measuring cup (I use the container that comes with the immersion blender).
Fully immerse the immersion blender to the bottom of the container and turn it on.
Leave it there for 10-15 seconds. You will see the mayo begin to form from the bottom up.
Slowly pull the immersion blender up to incorporate all the oil. When the oil is no longer visible, you're done!
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge. Use the same expiration date as the one for the egg used to make it.
