Black Olive Mayonnaise Recipes

GARDEN GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES WITH BLACK OLIVE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Preheat grill.
• Brush both sides of the bread with olive oil. Place 4 slices of bread on a baking sheet and place 2 slices of fontina, 4 slices of pepper, artichokes and arugula on each slice of bread. Top each slice with the remaining 4 slices of bread and grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
• Black Olive Mayonnaise: Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Serve with sandwiches.

BLACK OLIVE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Stir together all ingredients. Chill, covered, 1 hour (for flavors to develop).

BLACK GARLIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Place egg, coconut oil, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and salt into a wide mouth jar. Using an immersion blender, blend until ingredients begin to emulsify, 30 to 45 seconds.

BLACK OLIVE AïOLI

Steps:

• Place the egg yolk in a stainless-steel bowl. Begin whisking in the grape-seed oil drop by drop, as slowly as you can bear. Continue in this manner, following with the olive oil, as the mixture thickens. Once the mayonnaise has emulsified, add the remaining oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking all the time. If the mixture gets too thick and is difficult to whisk, add a drop or two of water.
• Pound the garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt with a mortar and pestle. Add half the olives, and pound to a paste. Roughly chop the remaining olives. Fold the garlic-olive paste and the chopped olives into the mayonnaise. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the cayenne pepper. Taste for balance and seasoning. If the aïoli seems thick and gloppy, thin it with a little water; this will also make it creamier.

BUTTER-FRIED ASPARAGUS WITH BLACK OLIVE & LEMON MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• First, make the mayonnaise. In a food processor, add the whole olives, egg yolks, vinegar, mustard and anchovy, and blend until you have a smooth paste. Slowly add the oil until it becomes thick and glossy. To finish, stir through the chopped olives, lemon juice and cayenne pepper.
• Next, in a pan over a low heat, warm the clarified butter until it melts. Put the flour, beaten eggs and brioche crumbs into three separate bowls. Dip the asparagus stem into the flour, leaving the tip uncovered, then dip it into the beaten egg and finally into the brioche crumbs. Repeat for each spear.
• Turn up the heat until the melted butter is hot. Add four spears of asparagus and fry for 1 min or so - it will cook quickly. Use a slotted spoon to lift them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining spears. After each batch comes out of the butter, grate over the Parmesan. Serve with the mayo.

OLIVE OIL MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar and salt until salt is dissolved. Whisk in egg, egg yolk, and mustard until fully combined. Whisking constantly and vigorously, very slowly drizzle in both oils until mixture is fully emulsified and thickened. Season with pepper.
