Basil mayonnaise
Home-made mayonnaise tastes so much better than anything we buy in the shops, and it’s really not that difficult to make. This basil mayonnaise, oraioli, is a tasty Italian version that is a wonderful dip for crudités. Mix it withcrème fraîche, Greek yoghurt or sour cream to create a lighter sauce – this can be poured over grilled meat or fish or used as a dressing on top of salads and boiled vegetables!
Ingredients
Method
- Mix the egg yolk, mustard, lemon juice and garlic in a mini food processor. Slowly pour the oil into the blender (through the top) while the processor is running on the lowest setting.
- When you reach the desired consistency (it should not be too thick), add the basil leaves and pulse for a few seconds. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
