Variations on Mayonnaise

Because I’m the kind of cook who needs a recipe… and because that ‘instant’ mayonnaise is so good…

Aioli

Roast 9 large cloves of garlic (toss garlic cloves in oil, wrap tightly in foil and roast at 180c for 20 minutes)

Cool

Add to blender when you’re making the basic mayonnaise

 

Caesar Mayonnaise

To the basic mayonnaise add – 1 tbsp capers, 1 tsp chopped anchovies, 2 cloves garlic, chopped parsley and grated parmesan

 

Tartare Sauce

1 large gherkin, 1 tbsp capers, dill

 

Chilli and Lime

2 tsp chilli sauce, 1/4 tsp minced garlic, lime juice and zest

 

Avocado Mayonnaise (thanks to Judith for this idea)

1/2 a large, or 1 small avocado blended in to basic mayonnaise

 

Lime and Coriander

1 tsp wholeseed mustard, 2 tsp runny hunny, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 bunch fresh coriander – chopped

 

Spiced Mayonnaise

toast 2 tsp of whatever spice – cool, then add to mayonnaise either whole, or ground

 

Fennel Mayonnaise

1/2 tsp Fennel seeds, lightly crushed; 1/2 tsp Pernod (optional); 2 tbsp chopped fennel fronds

Add 3 tsp truffle oil to mayonnaise
