Lemon Mayonnaise Recipes

LEMON MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a blender, set a low speed, combine the egg yolks, water, lemon juice, and salt.
• Partially cover the open blender with a towel to cut down on spatter and increase speed to high.
• Begin adding olive oil in a slow, steady stream (this should take 5-7 minutes).
• As the mayonnaise begins to thicken, the towel will no longer be necessary and the noise from the blender will lessen.
• Watch as the mayonnaise thickens, being careful to maintain the slow stream of the olive oil being added.
• Store the mayonnaise in a bowl covered with plastic wrap or in a plastic container with a tight fitting lid up to 4 days.
• *Roasted Garlic Mayonnaise: follow the above recipe, adding 1/4 cup recipe #232091 (Balsamic Roasted Garlic) after the mayonnaise has come together.
• *Red Pepper Mayonnaise: add 1/4 cup Peperonata (recipe #225648) after the mayonnaise has come together.

LEMON MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, mustard and a little salt. Whisk in the olive oil, a few drops at a time at first, then pour it in a steady thin stream, while continuing to whisk. Stir in the rest of the lemon juice, and adjust the salt to taste.

LEMON MAYONNAISE FOR STEAMED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Combine egg and a pinch of salt in the bowl of a food processor; blend until foamy and pale. Add oils, a few drops at a time, then the rest in a slow steady stream. Add lemon juice; blend briefly. Add salt and more lemon juice to taste. Refrigerate until needed. Garnish with strips of zest.

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.

LEMON & CHIVE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Mix the egg yolks with the mustard powder, pepper, 1 tbsp cider vinegar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix the oils together in a jug. Use an electric whisk to whisk the yolk mixture, then very slowly, drip-by-drip, add the oil. When the mixture is pale and thicker, and no oil is visible, swap from a drip to a slow, steady stream - whisking all the while.
• When all the oil is added and you have a thick mayonnaise, taste and season with more vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir in the lemon zest and chives, then chill until ready to serve.

LIME (OR LEMON) MAYONNAISE

FOOLPROOF LEMON-GARLIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In small food processor or container of an immersion blender, combine garlic, anchovies, egg yolk and mustard. With machine running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil and process until mixture is smooth and starts to thicken, about 2 minutes.
• With machine still running, slowly add remaining olive oil, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon very hot water. (A small splash from the kettle or tap is the right amount.) Process just until mixture reaches a loose mayonnaise consistency. If it curdles or becomes too thick, mix in more hot water a little at a time, pulsing machine so as not to overmix. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon juice, salt or pepper. Serve immediately, using a spoon to drizzle over salad, or cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Best served fresh, but keeps 2 days.
