Mayonnaise/Aioli

Mayo is so good, it also doubles as an instrument. You can also add garlic to the ingredients to make aioli sauce.

• Preparation: 5min.
• Cooking: 0min.
• Quantity: 1 cup (250 ml).

Ingredients ~

• 1 whole egg or 2 egg yolks, at room temperature.
• 250 ml neutral oil.
• 1-2 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice.
• 2-4 cloves of garlic (for aioli).
• A pinch of salt.
• A pinch of pepper.

Directions ~

1. Place the egg, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper into a tall, narrow container.
2. For aioli, add the diced garlic.
3. Pour the oil in last so it floats on top of everything else, otherwise the mixture might separate.
4. Rest the hand blender flat at the very bottom.
5. Turn it on full power and slowly pull it upwards until all the oil is mixed in.

Feel free to taste and mix in some Dijon mustard, pickle juice, vinegar, or extra spices (white pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper) afterwards.
