Re: Mayonnaise

I dont really measure anything when making mayo i just use one or two eggs, spash of lemon juice, tiny bit of mustard, then slowly whisk in oil till its at the consistancy i want... if it gets too thick add one more spash of lemon juice... MMM sometimes i add fresh garlic to the egg in the beginning or any other flavourings you want. so much better for you than the store bought stuff

Re: Mayonnaise

I'm a firm believer in Keep It Simple and let's not forget If It Works, Don't Fix It! Regular mayo works for me. Yay mayo. LOL

Now there is a recipe for French style mayo that's wonderful if you're planning on using it real fast... I beat two egg yolks until creamy yellow then while beating stream in olive oil, about a cup. I don't use the extra virgin as it's too rich and won't make as good an emulsion... the cheap stuff is best. Add a clove of crushed/minced garlic and you have something called "Aioli" (eye-oh-LEE) that's a fabulous addition to fish. You can also add this to shredded lettuce and you have what my favorite steakhouse calls "garlic salad". Sprinkle with paprika and oh my my it's good.

Ok now I'm hungry. lol

Re: Mayonnaise

I just love this site - somebody always has an answer for something I might want to know!

Does anyone know of the actual shelf life of mayo? I'm seriously considering making my own - if it can last a week, then I could make it up while I'm waiting for my revoluton rolls to come out of the oven to cool down.
