How to cook deliciously - How To Make Mayonnaise in a Blender or Food Processor

1. Stage

Pulse the egg, mustard, vinegar, and water: In a blender or food processor, combine the egg, mustard, vinegar, and water (if using). Pulse a few times so it’s mixed but not aerated.

2. Stage

While the machine is on, slowly pour in the oil: Have the oil ready in a glass measuring cup. Turn on the blender or food processor and add the oil in a thin stream (if you are using a food processor, the food tube insert will dribble it in for you). At first it will look like a yellow disaster, but press on. Soon you’ll have a pearly, creamy mixture that gets thicker the more oil you add.

3. Stage

Scrape out the mayonnaise and season: Once all the oil is added, turn off the machine and scrape out the mayonnaise. Season to taste with salt and optional Tabasco. (I like to taste the mayonnaise on a carrot stick or piece of lettuce to get a better idea of what it’ll be like on other food, which is how you will eat it.) Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to one week. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
