MAYONNAISE.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 x egg yolk,
• 10 ml of water and/or lemon juice,
• 200 ml grape seed oil.

Mayonnaise is the emulsification of oil and egg yolk to create a rich, creamy dressing. The secret to a decent mayonnaise is making sure you use enough water or lemon juice to make it hold together perfectly.

Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature. Whisk the yolk of one egg in a bowl with 10ml of water /and or lemon juice. Whisk it until is it foamy.

Keep whisking while you gradually drip up to 200ml of oil. Your mayonnaise will gradually appear before your eyes. Your mayonnaise should be beautifully glossy.

If your mayonnaise is too thick simply gradually add a little water to ad viscosity to the mixture.

- Season to taste with salt, lemon or chilli, garlic, fresh herbs, mustard or sweet chilli sauce.
