Karin’s Homemade Mayonnaise

Posted on: November 1, 2014, in Umngazi Recipes

Ingredients:

• 2 whole eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoons castor sugar
• 3 teaspoons mustard powder
• 2 tablespoon white grape vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 500ml sunflower oil
• 1 tablespoon boiling water

Method:

• Beat eggs in a food processor till light.
• Add dry ingredients and process.
• Add vinegar and lemon juice.
• Process and scrape down the sides.
• With the motor running pour the oil through the feed tube in a thin, steady stream – use a small jug with a thin spout so the oil doesn’t spill down the side of the processor.
• At this stage, add the garlic and/or herbs depending on the colour and flavour you want.
• Process quickly and scrape down the sides.
• At this stage add the herbs etc.
• Then add 1 tablespoon boiling water and give it a quick whizz.

For green or herby or garlic mayonnaise add some or all of the following after all the oil has been added:

• 2 teaspoons crushed garlic
• 1 teaspoon each dried thyme and oregano or 2 Tablespoon chopped fresh herbs
• 2 tablespoons snipped chives
• Generous handful of parsley – chopped (the more added the greener)
• A few twists black pepper

This recipe makes about 600ml mayonnaise
