BASIC MAYONNAISE

4 LARGE EGG YOLKS*
½ TEASPOON KOSHER SALT
2 TABLESPOON DIJON-STYLE
MUSTARD
2 TEASPOON FRESH LEMON
JUICE OR WHITE WINE
VINEGAR
2 TO 2½
CUPS VEGETABLE OR
CANOLA OIL, DIVIDED
Makes about 3 cups
Approximate preparation time: 5 to 10 minutes
Insert the small metal chopping blade into the small work bowl
of the Cuisinart
®
Food Processor. Process the egg yolks, salt,
mustard and lemon juice until smooth, about 30 seconds. With
the machine running, add ¼ cup of the oil through the feed
tube, drop by drop, being sure each drop is incorporated with
the yolks before adding the next. This step should take about
5 minutes. Once the mixture is emulsified and homogenous,
slowly add remaining oil until thick, about 1 minute. Taste and
adjust seasoning accordingly.
For herb mayonnaise: process ¹∕
³
cup firmly packed fresh herbs,
stems removed (e.g., parsley, dill, tarragon, basil, etc.), stems
removed, with the yolks before adding the oil.
For lower-cholesterol mayonnaise, and to avoid using raw
eggs, Egg Beaters
®
may be substituted for the egg yolks.
*Raw egg warning:
Caution is suggested in consuming raw and lightly cooked
eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne
illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh,
properly refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact
shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and
the shell.
