Easy Steps to Make Mayonnaise

Steps To Make Mayonnaise

You Will Need...
•2-3 eggs
•1 tablespoon freshly ground mustard seeds
•1 cup olive oil
•1-2 tablespoon white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
•Pinch of salt
Procedure

Step #1
Crack the eggs in a big mixing bowl. While you do so make sure you put in only the yolks. Add a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of powdered mustard seeds. Now, whisk them together until the mixture reaches a thick and glossy consistency.

Step #2
The next step is to add oil, I have used olive oil here, you can use groundnut or vegetable oil, whichever is preferred. Walnut oil is also a good option. It is important to add oil drop by drop. If you add all the oil at once, there is every possibility that the sauce can curdle. If you are using a blender keep it running while you add oil and in case you are using a fork keep whisking it when adding oil.

Step #3
Add lemon juice or white vinegar to the mixture. Lemon juice or white vinegar gives the sauce the required acidity and flavor. Depending on how tangy you like the sauce vary the quantity of the same. Now, while you are adding ingredients, keep whisking it constantly.

Step #4
This happens to be the basics of making mayo sauce. After this you add variety of herbs and spices to give the sauce a personalized touch. You can add garlic cloves, freshly ground pepper (tastes amazing), oregano, basil to enhance the taste of mayo sauce. You can even add fruit juices like pomegranate, orange, or cranberry to make your sauce interesting.

Step #5
Keep the blender running or your arms whisking the sauce, to achieve the thick creamy consistency. In case you like the sauce in its thinner form, just add a little water and whisk to decrease its viscosity. A little vanilla essence or any other flavor of your choice added to the mixture will make your mayonnaise sauce smell good, it is optional and you can enjoy the sauce plain as well.

Step #6
Once you have achieved the required consistency, fill the sauce in a glass jar and refrigerate it. This is to increase its shelf life and also keep the sauce fresh. A homemade sauce can stay fresh and eatable up to a week or two. It indeed is a healthy option!

You can also try egg white to make mayonnaise sauce as it proves to be much more healthier and tastes good as well. If you like the mayo sauce a little sweet add a teaspoon of sugar to reduce the tangy flavor of the sauce. Do remember to whisk the mixture constantly to attain that thick, creamy and glossy consistency! Enjoy
