I Made Mayo!

Basically mayonaise is eggs, oil, salt and lemon juice whipped to a tasty thickness. Here is what I did:

One egg and one yoke into the blender

a wee bit of dijon mustard

juice from a lemon, adjust to taste

sea salt, adjust to taste

BLEND in the blender!

Now, take the little thingy at the top of your blender lid off, so there is a wee hole at top. You are going to add 3/4 cup of oil drip by drip. You can use olive oil or sunflower oil, or whatever kind of oil your heart's content. Make sure the oil is cold-pressed and of high quality. It will taste yucky is you use off-brand canola. *spitting out*Add one drop at a time while the motor is running! The runny egg mixture will stiffen. Don't go to fast. Don't get impatient and dump it all in. Drip slowly. Let the motor hum.

Turn the motor off. Taste. Need more salt? More lemon? Super tasty?

Now, I took said mayonaise and made a dill sauce for fish. I added more lemon, a crushed garlic clove and some fresh, chopped dill from the Eath Box (tm). Back into the blender. I think I ate a pound of it. Mondo tasty.ENJOY!
