Garlic mayo

Stop buying mayonnaise from the shops. It takes 10 minutes to make and you don't get any preservatives.
Sure enough you will already have all the ingredients lying around you're pantry.

Plain mayonnaise is great but when you add garlic it adds many varieties of awesomeness.

Ingredients:
  • 1 egg yolk.
  • 3 garlic cloves, shell removed.
  • 1 teaspoon of English or Dijon mustard.
  • 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar.
  • 500ml of macadamia oil.
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon.
  • Food processor or stick blender.

Method:

  • Firstly wrap the garlic together in al-foil and roast in the oven on 180 to 200 degrees for 20 minutes or until soft.
  • Grab you're food processor, firstly add the egg yolk, mustard,garlic and vinegar and combine.
  • While ingredients are combining, this is the crucial part of adding the oil slowly. Add the oil to fast and the mayo will split. These ingredient ratio's are pretty standard and safe but still a slow steady pace and it will come out fine.
  • Once oil is combined add lemon juice and a little seasoning if required.

Makes: Heaps.

Prep time: 25 minutes.

Notes:

  • Nightshades free
  • Gluten free
  • Stay away from using a strong extra virgin oil as the flavour will be to intense.
