Magic Mayonnaise
Ingredients:
– 1 cup neutral-flavored oil (such as grapeseed or vegetable oil)
– 1 large egg at room temperature
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon white vinegar
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. In a tall container or a blender, add the egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, white vinegar, salt, and pepper.
2. Start blending the ingredients together on low speed, then slowly pour in the oil in a very thin stream. This gradual process is crucial for the mayonnaise to emulsify properly.
3. Continue blending on low speed while pouring in the remaining oil until the mixture thickens and emulsifies, forming the creamy texture of mayonnaise.
4. Once all the oil is incorporated and the mixture has thickened, taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add more salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra zing.
5. Transfer the magic mayonnaise to a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using. The flavors will continue to develop as it chills.
6. Use your homemade magic mayonnaise as a delightful spread on sandwiches, a creamy base for dressings, or a tangy dip for veggies. Get creative and experiment with adding herbs, garlic, or other seasonings to customize the flavor to suit your taste.
7. Enjoy the rich and velvety texture of your magical creation – your dishes will thank you for the flavorful addition!
