If you are planning to serve this sauce straight then you must use the best olive oil that you can. afford. However, if you are planning to add herbs then a blander corn or nut oil should be used.

Ingredients

  • 6 whole eggs, at room temperature
  • Juice of 1-2 lemons
  • 1 tablespoon

Method

Break the eggs into the food processor and add the other ingredients, except the oil. Turn the machine to maximum for 30-40 seconds, until the eggs are really foaming. Now pour the oil in evenly and slowly for a couple of minutes. If by any chance the mayonnaise is too thick, turn the machine on again at half speed and dribble some tepid water in.

There will be enough mayonnaise to last
