Make My Mayonnaise
Why, What, How, When….
Why choose to make my mayonnaise? 3 great reasons:
Takes minutes to make
Creates a super fresh, high quality condiment
Packed with quality, natural ingredients
What’s in it? 6 ingredients:
1 large egg
1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
1 small clove garlic, pressed
1 200ml extra virgin olive oil & 50ml avocado oil
1/2 tsp live, raw, unpasteurised miso paste
(Optional - 1/2 teaspoon English mustard)
How to make my mayonnaise? Easy…
Grab a stick blender, its original mixing container, or a jar that's just wider than the blender head and deep enough to allow all the ingredients to be mixed thoroughly, without spillage.
Place the egg, lemon juice, miso paste and (if using) mustard in the bottom of container or jar that just fits the head of your immersion blender. The egg, lemon juice mixture must reach the blades for this to work. If the mixture does not reach the blades, double the recipe before attempting.
Add the garlic (if using). Pour the oil mix on top and allow to settle for 15 seconds.
Place the head of the immersion blender at the bottom of the container and turn it on high speed. Do not pulse or move the *head.
As mayonnaise forms, slowly tilt and lift the head of the immersion blender until all oil is emulsified. Season the mayonnaise to taste. Refrigerate in an airtight container. for up to 2 weeks…..
…. "Voila"
If the mayonnaise is ‘watery’, it hasn’t emulsified, combined properly. allow the mixture to settle and separate, then blending again.
When to use it?
Any time you fancy some high quality, fresh Mayonnaise. **My mayonnaise includes Live miso. Miso's health benefits include improved digestive and immune health from its beneficial probiotics and vitamins, antioxidant properties, a rich source of protein and essential minerals like zinc, copper, and B vitamins. It uses quality, cold pressed oils that include Vitamin E & K, along with antioxidants, which can support heart health, brain function, and nutrient absorption, as well as contribute to healthy skin and hair.
However, it is high in fat and calories, so moderate consumption is recommended, especially for those on low-fat diets. The type of oil used in the mayonnaise is the biggest factor in its healthfulness. if in doubt, check with your GP/professional healthcare provider first.

* It’s important that the container or jar you use is just slightly larger than the head of the stick blender. The egg & lemon mixture must be in contact with the blades of the blender prior to turning on, for the recipe to work. The head of the blender must be firmly planted against the bottom of the container until the mayonnaise starts to come together.
