Mayonnaise

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon mustard
• 1 cup oil (I often use half vegetable oil and half olive oil)

Possible additions

I chop these up very coarsely and add them to the mix before blending. No need to chop them up finely, the blender will take care of that.

• Garlic (to taste but no problem to use 3 cloves)
• Habanero pepper (to taste)

Instructions

• Add the ingredients in the above order to a tall container that fits the hand blender.
• Let them sit for a minute or so to let the egg settle to the bottom. Oil will swim on top.
• Push the hand blender all the way to the bottom, hold it there, and start blending. Do not move the blender until you see the mayonnaise forming at the bottom and moving to the top. I typically count to 10 or 15 before I start moving the blender slowly up. Then I move blend up and down until everything is blended (15 seconds?).
• I mix it a bit more then with a spoon.
• Bottle it and store it in the fridge.
