Homemade mayonnaise is a simple yet luxurious condiment that elevates everyday dishes with its fresh, rich flavor. Made from just a few pantry staples-egg, mustard, vinegar or lemon juice, and oil-it offers a creamy texture and tangy taste that surpasses store-bought versions. The process of emulsifying the ingredients with a blender results in a thick, smooth spread that's perfect for sandwiches, dips, and as a base for various dressings and sauces. By making mayonnaise at home, you can control the quality of the ingredients, avoid preservatives, and customize the flavor to your liking, ensuring a healthier and tastier addition to your meals.
Here's a simple recipe for making homemade Mayonnaise
Ingredients:
- 3 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or lemon juice
- 2 cups neutral oil (like canola, vegetable, or light olive oil)
- 1 tsp Salt
Equipment:
- Immersion blender or regular blender
- Measuring cups and spoons
- A tall, narrow container (if using an immersion blender)
Instructions:
1. *Prepare Your Ingredients:*
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. This helps with the emulsification process.
2. *Combine Ingredients:*
- In a tall, narrow container or the blender jar, add the egg, mustard, and vinegar or lemon juice.
3. *Blend:*
- If using an immersion blender, place it at the bottom of the container and start blending. Slowly drizzle in the oil while keeping the blender running. You should see the mixture start to emulsify and thicken.
- If using a regular blender, add the egg, mustard, and vinegar or lemon juice, and blend on medium speed. Slowly drizzle in the oil through the top opening of the blender while it's running.
4. *Season:*
- Once all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy, season with salt to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar, pepper, or other seasonings if desired.
5. *Store:*
- Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store in the refrigerator and use within a week.
Tips:
- If your mayonnaise is too thin, you can try blending in a bit more oil to thicken it.
- For different flavors, experiment with adding minced garlic for garlic mayo, or herbs for an herbed mayo.
Enjoy your homemade mayonnaise!
