MAYONNAISE



Mayonnaise image

Make mayonnaise at home with Alton Brown's easy recipe from Food Network: An egg yolk, lemon juice, vinegar and oil get whisked together until emulsified.

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     condiment

Time 10m

Yield 9 fluid ounces

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 egg yolk*
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 pinches sugar
2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 cup oil, safflower or corn

Steps:

  • In a glass bowl, whisk together egg yolk and dry ingredients. Combine lemon juice and vinegar in a separate bowl then thoroughly whisk half into the yolk mixture. Start whisking briskly, then start adding the oil a few drops at a time until the liquid seems to thicken and lighten a bit, (which means you've got an emulsion on your hands). Once you reach that point you can relax your arm a little (but just a little) and increase the oil flow to a constant (albeit thin) stream. Once half of the oil is in add the rest of the lemon juice mixture.
  • Continue whisking until all of the oil is incorporated. Leave at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours then refrigerate for up to 1 week.

HOMEMADE MAYONNAISE



Homemade Mayonnaise image

Homemade mayo is so easy to make in the food processor and far more delicious than any store-bought variety! With just a few simple ingredients that you probably have at home already, you can take this condiment to the next level.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     condiment

Time 5m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
Kosher salt
2 cups canola oil

Steps:

  • Add the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons water to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Blend until the ingredients are combined.
  • Pour the oil into a measuring cup with a spout. With the processor running, pour in the oil very slowly, in a steady stream. It is important to add the oil slowly because if added too fast, the mayonnaise can break (see Cook's Note). This will take about 3 minutes. You will begin to see the mixture resemble mayonnaise after about half the oil has been added. As soon as all the oil has been added, transfer to an airtight storage container. Keep the mayonnaise refrigerated for up to 2 days.

BASIC MAYONNAISE

Forget shop-bought and make your own homemade mayonnaise. It takes a little effort but it's well worth it to accompany your favourite dishes

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Condiment

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 egg yolks
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
250ml sunflower oil
2 tsp white wine vinegar or lemon juice

Steps:

  • Tip the egg yolks and mustard into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk together until completely combined. Whisking constantly, add a small drop of oil and whisk until completely combined, then add another drop and continue a drop at a time until the yolks and oil combine and start to thicken. Once you're confident the oil and eggs are coming together you can add the oil a bit more at a time, but be patient, as adding the oil too quickly will cause the mayonnaise to split and curdle.
  • Once all the oil has been whisked into the eggs and you have a thick, spoonable mayonnaise, whisk in the vinegar or lemon juice and season to taste. Will keep in the fridge for two days.
