Description
What do potato salad, chips, a roast beef sandwich, burgers and boiled eggs have in common? That's right - all of them would only taste half as good without mayonnaise! The classic is simply creamy, delicious and an indispensable ingredient in many dishes. You simply have to make good mayonnaise yourself. You can find out that it's not complicated at all here in the recipe ...

Zutaten für

For the mayonnaise

1 egg yolk
25 ml liquid (e.g. cold stock)
1 Teaspoon(s) mustard
0.5 Teaspoon(s) salt
1 Pinch(es) sugar
1 Pinch(es) pepper
1 Splash(es) lemon juice
1 Splash(es) Tabasco
350 ml oil

Preparation

  • Total time: 10 min

Prepare the mayonnaise

1
IMPORTANT: This mayonnaise is made with raw egg yolks. If available, pasteurised egg yolk should be used, otherwise ONLY FRESH organic eggs. The mayonnaise should only be used on the day it is made!
2
Place egg yolks, mustard and all liquids (no fat/oil) in chopper or bowl and mix.
3
When the egg and liquid mixture is well blended, add a small amount of oil and whisk. Then keep adding a small amount of oil (tablespoon by tablespoon) and keep whisking well. No greasy eyes should form on the surface.
4
As the amount of oil increases, a consistency similar to a salad dressing should slowly develop and eventually a mayonnaise consistency. The consistency can be adjusted by the amount of oil or liquid. Once the desired consistency is reached, season the mayonnaise with salt, pepper, lemon and Tabasco (if this was not already added at the beginning).

Tip: The taste of the mayonnaise can be wonderfully varied, e.g. by:
 - Spice paste that is mixed in (wasabi, miso, ...)
 - (reduced) juice instead of liquid
 - (Sweet) Mustard, which is mixed in
 - Flavoured oils that replace part of the oil (garlic, truffle, ...)
