This mayonnaise has a fresh and spicy flavor, with a golden and inviting color thanks to the turmeric.
Ingredients:
- 1 fresh whole egg (at room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for a bolder flavor)
- 200 ml sunflower oil (or another neutral-flavored oil)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the base:
- In a tall, narrow container (ideal for an immersion blender), crack the whole egg.
- Add the mustard, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, garlic powder (if used), a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
- Blend the mayonnaise:
- Place the immersion blender in the container, resting it at the bottom.
- Slowly pour the oil over the ingredients. It’s important that the oil stays on top.
- Turn on the immersion blender, keeping it stationary at the bottom until the ingredients begin to emulsify.
- Slowly lift the blender as the mayonnaise thickens.
- Adjust the flavor:
- Taste and adjust with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if needed.
- Serve or store:
- The mayonnaise can be used immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Tips:
- You can further personalize this mayonnaise by adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a drizzle of toasted sesame oil for a more complex flavor.
- This mayonnaise pairs perfectly with fries, raw or grilled vegetables, or as a base for gourmet sandwiches.
