Time 10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups sunflower, groundnut (peanut) or light olive oil
1 red chile, seeded and shredded*
1 small bunch fresh cilantro leaves, very finely chopped

Steps:

  • Pour the egg yolks into a bowl and mix with the garlic, mustard, and some of the lime juice.
  • Adjust the seasonings with salt, and pepper and, using an electric hand mixer or whisk, beat the ingredients and gradually start to add the oil, one drop at a time. Keep adding the oil until the mixture thickens, and emulsifies. If the mayonnaise looks like it might split or break, add a spoonful or so of warm water and stir it in. This usually "brings it back." If you find that your mayonnaise is too thick, add a little more warm water until you achieve the desired consistency.
  • Stir in the chile, including the seeds (adding a few seeds at a time, depending on the desired heat), the cilantro, and the rest of the lime juice, to taste.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use a little more lime juice and cilantro.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would recommend using less chile pepper if you're not a fan of spicy food.

This recipe is a keeper! I love the bright, citrusy flavor of the lime and cilantro. The mayo is also nice and thick, which makes it perfect for spreading on sandwiches or as a dip.
