Mustard mayonnaise is a tangy and rich condiment that can elevate any dish. Perfect for sandwiches, burgers, or as a dip, this recipe balances the creaminess of mayonnaise with the bold flavor of mustard. Here's a simple guide to making this delicious condiment at home.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites and place the yolks in a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside for another use.
- Gather your mustard, lemon juice, vegetable oil, and seasonings.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and mustard until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour in the lemon juice and continue whisking until it is fully incorporated. The acidity of the lemon juice helps to stabilize the mixture.
- Begin adding the vegetable oil slowly, just a few drops at a time, while continuously whisking the mixture. This slow addition allows the yolks to emulsify with the oil, creating a thick, creamy consistency.
- Once the mixture begins to thicken, you can add the oil in a thin, steady stream, always whisking vigorously. This gradual process is key to achieving a stable, smooth mayonnaise.
- Once all the oil has been incorporated and you have a thick mayonnaise, season it with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine the seasoning evenly throughout the mayonnaise.
- If the mayonnaise is too thick, you can adjust the consistency by whisking in a small amount of warm water or additional lemon juice, a few drops at a time.
- If it's too thin, continue whisking or add a little more oil slowly until the desired thickness is achieved.
- Transfer the mustard mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs and lemon juice for the best flavor and consistency.
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to ensure they emulsify properly.
- If the mayonnaise separates, try adding a few drops of warm water and whisk continuously to bring it back together.
- You can adjust the mustard and lemon juice quantities to suit your taste preferences.
Making mustard mayonnaise at home is both quick and rewarding. With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you can create a versatile condiment that adds a burst of flavor to many dishes. Enjoy your homemade mustard mayonnaise and experiment with different variations to find your perfect flavor balance.
