HOMEMADE MAYO - AIOLI Ingredients: (from Alice Waters’ “The Art of Simple Food”) 1 egg yolk Half a teaspoon of water Pinch of salt 1 cup of oil *I also consulted Michael Ruhlman’s recipe (“Ruhlman’s Twenty”) that comes with immersion blender instructions, Jacques Pepin’s from “Essential Pepin” and Mark Bittman’s from “How to Cook Everything Vegetarian.” Get a bowl or container that comes with the immersion blender. Separate an egg yolk from the white. Add a pinch of salt, and half a teaspoon of water. Some recipes will encourage you to add some dijon mustard. It may help with the emulsification process and it definitely adds flavor to the end result. Now whisk together the yolk, salt, and water and start to slowly, SLOWLY add the oil. Literally start with a drop at a time. What you’re trying to do is to splash the oil into super tiny droplets that mix with the yolk. You will probably need to anchor the vessel to the countertop with damp rags because you only have 2 hands. You don’t have a third to hold the bowl, too. It will develop some body, getting thicker and turning a light yellow color. How to fix broken homemade mayonnaise: You can start over in a clean, dry bowl, with 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon of water and adding the broken mixture into the water a drop at a time. Basically starting over without throwing out the first mixture. The other method is to start over with another egg yolk. You can try a different machine to blend the mayonnaise. They say you can use blenders, food processors, and immersion blenders to make mayonnaise. How to avoid a bitter flavor in homemade mayonnaise: Use something like grapeseed oil to make most of your mayonnaise. Extra virgin olive oil is too delicate for all the beating, and it leaves a bitter aftertaste. You can use extra virgin olive oil for the last quarter of the process for flavor, but it doesn’t need to be the primary oil. How to avoid broken mayo: The best way to get comfortable with all this is to simply jump in and try it! Go super slow in the beginning. Try to have everything at room temperature before you start. And if you like the thickness you have, stop adding oil. You don’t have to use all the oil the recipe calls for. __________________ VIDEO COURSES:* How to Cook the Best Eggs: https://www.udemy.com/course/cooktheb...
