My beloved home made mayonnaise

Author Notes

Home made mayonnaise is something I have always had since I was a child. With boiled fish, boiled potatoes and vegetables, with bread as a snack but above all as a dip. You can use this mayonnaise as a dip for everything savory and any crudités. But my favourite use is for the fondue bourguignonne my grandmother used to prepare every year for my birthday. Home made mayonnaise is so delicate that you can have it just plain but it can also be enriched with any kind of spices (I like curry), minced parsley and garlic, or even ketchup to have it pink (which is a perfect dip for shrimps). While blending, sometimes curds could form: you can save it by adding another egg and make a bigger quantity in the same container. The amount of necessary oil is rough as it could vary a lot according to the kind of oil and the dimension of the egg. —heirloom
