Lemon & chive mayonnaise
This fresh-tasting homemade mayo makes a delicious accompaniment to baked salmon
- Prep: 20 mins
- Serves 6
- Moderately easy
Ingredients
- 3 egg yolks
- pinch English mustard powder
- pinch ground white pepper, or use ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp cider vinegar
- 250ml groundnut oil
- 50ml extra-virgin olive oil
- zest 1 lemon
- 1 bunch chives, finely chopped
Method
-
Mix the egg yolks with the mustard
powder, pepper, 1 tbsp cider vinegar and
a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix the oils
together in a jug. Use an electric whisk
to whisk the yolk mixture, then very
slowly, drip-by-drip, add the oil. When
the mixture is pale and thicker, and no
oil is visible, swap from a drip to a slow,
steady stream – whisking all the while.
-
When all the oil is added and you have
a thick mayonnaise, taste and season
with more vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir
in the lemon zest and chives, then chill
until ready to serve.
