Instructions
PREPARATION FOR OLIVE OIL MAYONNAISE
- To perfectly prepare a classic and very easy homemade mayonnaise, separate the yolks from the egg whites and start whipping the yolks with a whisk along with a pinch of salt and pepper. While continuing to beat them with the whisk, slowly pour in the olive oil until the mixture has thickened and has the shape of a proper mayonnaise. If the mayonnaise tears, which can happen if you add too much oil at once, start over with just one yolk and gently add the torn mayonnaise as if it were oil.
- Then add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of vinegar so that the mayonnaise lightens. Refrigerate until ready to use so that the flavors come together and make such a delicious treat!
PREPARATION FOR FLAVORED MAYONNAISE
- To prepare flavored mayonnaise, use the same procedure as for the mayonnaise above, but start with the flavored oil and then finish with the seed oil. You can also use olive oil instead of seed oil, but the result will be a mayonnaise with a more intense flavor.
PREPARATION FOR GARLIC MAYONNAISE
- Prepare an olive oil mayonnaise, or a classic seed oil mayonnaise, and let it rest. In the meantime, crush 6 garlic cloves in a mortar until they turn into a cream and add them to the mayonnaise. Enjoy your meal!
