An original recipe from our home not even based on any other recipe. This came as an evolution from a preserved mayo we have been making for some time for our tapas parties. I have to say, this one came out pretty good with fairly little effort for a mayonnaise made by hand. Very much worth trying. Here is teh recipe anyway.
Ingredients
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup good extra virgin olive oil
3 large green olives (any kind you like), minced
1/4 preserve lemon peel, minced
1-1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 pinch Kosher salt or to taste
Instructions
In a bowl, beat the egg yolk with a whisk as you add the oil very slowly (barely a drizzle). When all the oil has been added, add the remaining ingredients and mix well. If the result is too think (mine usually is), add a little water and mix well (no more than 1/2 tsp at a time). You are done. It is really that simple.
This mayo goes great with smoked fish or chicken. Anything that would be complemented by the lemony taste. The better the olive oil, the more you will taste it in the end result. You can really adjust the quantities as you wish. You can't go wrong with something this simple.
