Jamie Oliver recommends lemon juice in this mayo - I don't use lemon juice, but I add garlic because it's delish.
Ingredients
  • 2 free range egg yolks
  • 1 heaped teaspoon Dijon mustard (I use a grainy mustard though, as that's what I like!)
  • 500ml vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt (I use pink Himalayan)
  • ½ lemon (optional)
  • 1 clove of garlic (optional)
Instructions
Thermomix instructions in bold.
  1. Make sure you have your vinegar measured out and set aside, ready.
  2. Add two free range egg yolks and a heaped teaspoon of mustard to the bowl. Add the butterfly and whisk speed 4. Add 250ml of the vegetable oil very slowly in a slow drizzle through the hole in the lid into the bowl.
  3. When you've poured about half of the oil in, add the vinegar. (Jamie says this makes it lighter in colour and texture, which it does.)
  4. Add the rest of the oil in a slow trickle - it should take about 4 minutes to add all the oil.
  5. Add your flavours now, either lemon juice, garlic, paprika - whatever you fancy. Whisk it for another 5 seconds or so, the store in an airtight container.
