Mayonnaise With Fresh Herbs Food

FAIL-PROOF HOMEMADE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• If you have a large food processor, use the smaller bowl attachment that came with your processor so that the bowl is not too large for the amount of mayonnaise this recipe makes. Not using the smaller bowl can prevent the mayonnaise from emulsifying since the mixture will not have enough contact with the blade.
• If you do not the smaller bowl attachment, making the mayonnaise with an immersion blender or by hand are alternatives. Or simply make a larger batch and double the recipe and use the standard bowl attachment. You might find success with a high-speed blender, but based on reviews and comments from readers, using a blender seems to be less fail-proof.
• Add egg to the small bowl of a food processor and process for 20 seconds. Add the mustard, vinegar, and salt. Process for another 20 seconds.
• Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, turn the food processor on then begin to slowly add the oil in tiny drops until about a quarter of the oil has been added (this is critical for proper emulsification).
• When you notice that the mixture is beginning to thicken and emulsify, you can be a little less strict. With the processor on, continue to add it slowly, but increase to a very thin stream instead of drops of oil.
• When all of the oil has been added, scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl and process for an extra 10 seconds. Taste mayonnaise for seasoning then add salt, lemon juice or extra vinegar to taste.
• Note, if the mayo seems too thin, slowly stream in more oil with the processor running until thick.

BUTTERMILK-HERB DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk together the mayonnaise, herbs and a generous pinch of salt in a small bowl. Whisk in the buttermilk and a couple turns of freshly ground black pepper until blended.

HERB MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Place egg yolks in a food processor. (To avoid using raw eggs, substitute yolks from pasteurized eggs.)
• Add mustard and lemon juice. Pulse ingredients until well combined.
• With motor running, add oil in a slow, steady stream (mixture should become thick and emulsified). Stir in chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
• Refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 1 week.

FRESH HERB MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Stir all ingredients together.
• Top a simple salad, perhaps with boiled new potatoes, sliced green onions, or dollop on grilled chicken and pasta. Add to deviled eggs, or use as a dip for fresh vegetables.
• Enjoy!

POTATO SALAD WITH FRESH HERBS AND LEMON

Steps:

• Whisk oil, lemon juice and lemon peel in small bowl to blend.
• Season dressing with salt and pepper.
• Place 1/2 cup dressing in large bowl.
• Mix in bell pepper, onion, cilantro, basil and mint.
• Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling, salted water until tender, about 25 minutes.
• Drain; cool 15 minutes.
• Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Add potatoes to large bowl with dressing and toss to blend.
• Let stand 10 minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper, adding more dressing, if desired.
• Serve at room temperature.

SPICY HERB MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the mustard. While whisking continuously, slowly stream the oil into the egg yolks a little at a time until completely emulsified. This will take 8 to 10 minutes. A little patience, strength, and ambition are required, friends.
• When the mayonnaise has come together and is nice and thick, add the lemon juice, vinegar, and hot sauce and whisk for 30 seconds. Fold in the grated garlic and herbs and season with the salt. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
• Check you out! You just made mayo!! It'll keep in an airtight container in the fridge for about 1 week. If it separates, add 1 to 2 teaspoons water to the mayo and whisk until smooth and combined.
• Bonus!
• You can also make mayo in a food processor. Process the egg and mustard for about a minute, then slowly stream in the oil through the feed tube with the processor running until the mayo emulsifies and thickens beautifully. (If using a Mini-Prep, you can use the two little holes in the top of the lid to drip in the oil.) Add the lemon juice, vinegar, and hot sauce and pulse a few times until combined. Fold in the garlic and fresh herbs, and season with the salt. Sweet!
