- Egg – 1, large (it should be at room temperature)
- Olive oil – 1.25 cups
- Mustard seeds – ½ tsp, ground
- Salt – as needed
- Lemon – 2 tbsp, fresh (it should also be at room temperature)
Directions
- In the food processor or a mixer, pour 1/4 cup of oil. Add the salt, egg along with the ground mustard seeds. Bend them for about 30 seconds so that you get a smooth mixture. It will have a light yellow color.
- Gradually, pour the remaining oil into the mixture till it becomes thick as well as emulsified. This way, the mayonnaise will be creamier.
- Now mix the lemon juice it and blend them again for only 10 seconds. Your mayonnaise is ready.
- You can add any spice in it as you like. For making it spicy, you can add Sriracha and sambal oelek, or black pepper and garlic sauce. You can also make it spicy by adding chili powder along with garlic sauce.
Note:
- You can keep it in the fridge for about five days in an air-tight container.
- It is not ideal for keeping it in the freezer as this break the emulsion. Besides that, when you will thaw it, the texture will become chunky.
- The above mayonnaise recipe doesn’t use any dairy products, and it is also free of gluten.
- Do not use extra virgin olive oil as this will make the mayo bitter. And the flavor is so strong that you cannot have it.
- You can use any neutral oil or sunflower oil in place of olive oil.
