Homemade mayonnaise simply tastes better, and with a hand blender from ONYX Cookware you can quickly turn simple ingredients into delicious homemade mayonnaise. We guarantee that this recipe will give you perfect results every time.
What you'll need:
Equipment:
Ingredients:
- 3 dl neutral oil (e.g. rapeseed or grapeseed oil)
- 1 whole egg (preferably at room temperature for best results)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp white wine vinegar / apple cider vinegar
- ½ lemon (juice and finely grated zest)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
It's this easy:
Follow these simple steps and you can't go wrong.
- Prepare your ingredients: Pour 3 dl oil into the blending cup, using the measurements on the side of the cup. Crack the egg into the oil and add all the remaining ingredients.
- Blend the ingredients: Place the hand blender right at the bottom of the blending cup and switch it on. Only start moving the hand blender slowly up and down once the mayonnaise begins to thicken. This is essential for creating a smooth, uniform texture.
- Adjust the flavour: Once the mayonnaise has reached the desired consistency, season with extra salt, pepper or lemon juice if needed. The mayonnaise should be creamy and smooth. If it seems too thick, you can add a few drops of water while blending to loosen the consistency slightly.
Using the hand blender from ONYX Cookware and this recipe helps you avoid the common problem of mayonnaise splitting. The powerful motor and precise control ensure perfect mayo every time.
Our suggestions for mayonnaise flavour variations
This is the basic mayonnaise recipe, but why not experiment with different flavours? Here are some ideas to give your homemade mayonnaise a new twist. The only limit is your imagination.
TIP: For the best flavour, blend ingredients such as chilli with the oil BEFORE making the mayonnaise. Of course, you can also divide the batch and create different flavours using the same base.
Chilli mayo
For a slightly hotter flavour, you can blend a fresh chilli with the oil, then strain out the chilli pieces before making the mayonnaise. The easy version is to add a teaspoon of sriracha or another chilli sauce to your mayonnaise. This adds not only colour but also a spicy depth that goes well with burgers and shellfish.
Garlic mayo (Aioli)
Add a couple of crushed garlic cloves to the basic recipe to make a delicious aioli. Perfect as a dip for vegetable sticks or chips, or as a sandwich spread.
Our favourite: Wild garlic mayo
When fresh wild garlic is in season, take a generous handful and blend it with the oil until the wild garlic is finely chopped and the oil is completely green. Strain out the wild garlic pieces and blend your mayonnaise according to the recipe.
Herb mayo
Blend your mayonnaise with a handful of fresh herbs such as dill, parsley or basil. This variation is excellent with fish dishes or as a fresh dressing for summer salads, and gives your homemade potato salad an extra lift.
Truffle mayo
For a more luxurious version, add a little truffle oil to your mayonnaise. This umami-rich version is excellent with vegetarian dishes, but also with burgers, fresh tartare or chips.
Béarnaise mayo
Béarnaise is a well-known and much-loved classic. For a cold version, try adding plenty of tarragon, preferably both fresh and dried, and replace the white wine vinegar with a little béarnaise essence. It goes really well with summer barbecues and is almost indispensable with chips.
Shelf life
Put the mayonnaise in jars or bowls/containers with lids, and it will keep for at least a week in the fridge.
