Gourmet Real Mayonnaise Recipes

GOURMET REAL MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• NOTE: I HAVE BEEN MAKING MAYONNAISE FOR YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A SINGLE OCURRRENCE OF "SALMONELLA"! USE ONLY THE FRESHEST CRACK-FREE EGGS THAT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY REFRIGERATED. BEFORE BREAKING EGGS, SANITIZE THE OUTER SHELLS FIRST, THEN RINSE WELL FOR ADDED SAFETY. SERVE PREPARED MAYONNAISE USING A CLEAN UTENSIL WHICH HAS NOT HAD CONTACT WITH OTHER INGREDIENTS. KEEP UNUSED MAYONNAISE SEALED AND REFRIGERATED. SINCE ANY NATURAL PRESERVATIVE-FREE MAYONNAISE IS PERISHABLE, USE WITHIN 3 DAYS.
• SELECT a durable, quality kitchen blender with a removable center lid knob.
• CRACK one whole egg into the blender.
• SEPARATE another egg then add the yolk into blender.
• ADD the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the canola oil (2 1/2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (REMOVE ANY SEEDS BEFORE ADDING!), 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon white sugar, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 pinch garlic powder, 1 pinch white pepper); PLACE blender lid into place.
• TURN blender on to the WHIP setting for a few seconds to emulsify mixture; STOP blender and remove lid; REMOVE blender lid's center knob to leave a feeding hole; REPLACE adjusted lid.
• INTO a clear measuring cup with a spout top, add canola oil to the 3/4 cup mark.
• SLOWLY trickle oil into blender feeder hole by drips or up to the thinnest steady stream, until all of the oil has been added, and the mayonnaise is completely blended and emulsified.
• TRANSFER mayonnaise into a resealable container to refrigerate (mayonnaise will emulsify further with refrigeration), or use right away (keep unused portion refrigerated at all times, and use the fresh mayonnaise within 3 days).
• SERVE with your favorite foods and enjoy!

MAYONNAISE

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.

CLASSIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Whisk together yolk, mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined well. Add about 1/4 cup oil drop by drop, whisking constantly until mixture begins to thicken. Whisk in vinegar and lemon juice, then add remaining 1/2 cup oil in a very slow, thin stream, whisking constantly until well blended.
