A HEALTHY "HELLMANN'S" MAYONNAISE



A Healthy

I've been searching for a good mayonnaise recipe for a while. I found one I liked that tastes as close to Hellmann's as could be. However, from my research and reading, there are several things about regular and even health-food store mayonnaise that is bad for you. (1) The Oil. Soybean oil isn't healthy. Only fresh soybeans or fermented soybean products are healthy. Anything else from Soy is way too controversial in the circles of "Nutritional Experts". Canola Oil, also another industrial scam. Not healthy at all. Read Johnny Bowden's book "The 150 Healthiest Foods On Earth" and you'll see what he and other experts have to say about Canola Oil. Simply put, it's just not good for you and it comes from a genetically altered plant. Lastly, when you see "and spices" this continues to be a mystery. But, I have read in several places, that one of the "Spices" is monosodium glutamate. Yes, MSG is a big component of "and spices". "They" simply found another way to get MSG into you and not have to let you know about it on the label. To really make this recipe healthier, use Organic Omega-3 Eggs from Hens that were free roaming-Free Range, No Antiobiotics / No Hormones. These are the healthiest hens and produce much healthier eggs. Also, the original version of my recipe contained raw Agave nectar, which I've replaced with Raw Honey. Studies now show that Agave nectar is simply an "agave" version of high fructose corn syrup and contains higher amounts of fructose than HFCS does. Fructose seems to be the bad common denominator. when it's in its natural form (within fruit) it's okay, but outside of fruit, fructose isn't good for you. Fruit yes, fructose no. So much for Agave Nectar being a "health food". This recipe uses MUCH healthier ingredients and tastes phenomenal. You be the judge. I love Mayo and I love this recipe. I hope you do too. Dr. T

Time 15m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 free range organic omega-3 egg yolks
2 1/4 teaspoons organic white vinegar
1 teaspoon purified water
1/4 teaspoon celtic sea salt, plus (or other unbleached-natural sea salt)
1/8 teaspoon celtic sea salt
1/2 teaspoon organic raw honey
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon organic lemon juice
1 cup of chilled organic walnut oil

Steps:

  • Put the egg yolks in the blender (I use a Vitamix) and start it on the slowest speed.
  • Combine vinegar, water, Celtic sea salt, Raw Honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl or glass measuring cup & Stir until everything is dissolved.
  • Add this solutions slowly to the (blending) egg yolks then add the dry mustard.
  • Slowly stream 1 cup of oil into the blending mixture. You can use a plastic squirt bottle so you have more control. Don�t rush this process!
  • This bottle will allow you to dribble the oil into the egg yolk with one hand while very slowly, turning up the speed of the blender (start turning up the speed when about ½ the oil is in there).
  • When you have used about ½ to ¾ of the oil, your mayonnaise should start to change color and start to thicken. Continue to turn the speed up until it thickens.
  • Your �Healthy Hellmanns� mayonnaise should be thick and off-white in color.
  • Put the mayonnaise into an old mayonnaise jar and seal it with a lid.
  • Leave this out on your kitchen counter for 8 to 10 hours so that the vinegar and lemon juice can kill any potential bacteria in the egg yolk. However, if you use healthy eggs from healthy chickens (that�s why I use free range organic no-hormone/no-antibiotic Omega-3 eggs -- healthy hens produce healthy eggs).
  • Keep up to 2 weeks in your refrigerator.
  • Tastes Really great and has some healthy Omega-3 fats in it. Unlike typical mayo.

HELLMAN'S OR BEST FOODS MAYONNAISE (COPY CAT)



Hellman's or Best Foods Mayonnaise (Copy Cat) image

I have searched long and hard for the recipe for Hellman's or Best Foods Mayonnaise. I can't abide the other brands. However, it has been more and more difficult to afford it! It is like liquid gold today! This recipe has all the same ingredients that are on the jar; sans the weird and unknown. This blog guy, has obviously done...

Categories     Dressings

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 egg yolk
2 1/4 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp water
1/4 tsp plus 1/8 teaspoon of salt
1/4 tsp plus 1/8 teaspoon of granulated sugar
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1 c vegetable or canola oil

Steps:

  • 1. One day in France in 1756, when Duke de Richelieus chef couldn't find any cream for a sauce made with eggs and cream, he substituted oil. The thick emulsion that formed after a vigorous beating became one of the basic sauces for our modern cuisine. A version of this simple culinary breakthrough was an important ingredient for Richard Hellmann's salads in the deli he opened in New York City in 1905. When Richard started selling his mayonnaise by the jar at the deli, the bottles flew out the door. Before long Hellmann's creamy mayonnaise dominated in the eastern United States, while another company, Best Foods, was having incredible sales success with mayonnaise west of the Rockies. In 1932 Best Foods bought Hellmann's, and today the two brands split the country: Best Foods is sold west of the Rockies and Hellmann's can be found to the east. Nowadays the two mayonnaise recipes are nearly identical, although some people claim that Best Foods mayonnaise is a little tangier. In this clone recipe you'll be creating an emulsion by whisking a stream of oil into a beaten egg yolk. The solution will begin to magically thicken and change color, and before you know it you'll be looking at a bowl of beautiful, off-white, fresh mayonnaise. I've found the best way to add the oil to the egg yolk a little bit at a time while whisking is to pour the oil into a plastic squirt bottle like the kind used for ketchup or mustard. This will allow you to whisk continuously with one hand while squirting oil with the other. You can also use a measuring cup with a spout and pour the oil in a thin stream.
  • 2. Whisk the egg yolk by hand for 15 seconds.
  • 3. Combine the vinegar, water, salt, sugar, and lemon juice in a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Stir until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Add half of this solution to the egg yolk and whisk for another 15 seconds.
  • 4. Pour the oil into a plastic squirt bottle or a spouted measuring cup. Add a few drops of oil into the yolk and whisk, and continue to add oil a little bit at a time while whisking non-stop. When you have used about half of the oil, your mayonnaise should be very thick. Add the remaining vinegar solution. Whisk some more. Now you can add the remaining oil in a steady stream while whisking until all of the oil has been added. Your mayonnaise should be thick and off-white in color when it's done.
  • 5. Put the mayonnaise into an old mayonnaise jar and seal it with a lid. Keep up to 2 weeks in your refrigerator. Yield: 1 cup I got this recipe from: http://www.topsecretrecipes.com/ Sorry I couldn't get a pic yet! Though I've made it twice!
  • 6. Notes: Some people are skeeved out by using raw egg yolk in a sauce like this, even though the risk of salmonella poisoning from fresh eggs is very low and the vinegar used in the recipe helps to kill any potentially harmful bacteria. Nevertheless, if you are concerned, you can buy eggs that have been heat-treated (pasteurized) in the shell. They are probably going to be a little more expensive.
