Makes about 3 cups
Approximate preparation time: 5 to 10 minutes
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large 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 fresh herb mayonnaise: process ¹
³
cup firmly packed fresh
herbs (i.e., parsley, dill, tarragon, basil, etc.), stems removed,
with the yolks before adding the oil.
*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.
For lower-cholesterol mayonnaise, and to avoid using raw
eggs, Egg Beaters
®
may be substituted for the egg yolks.
