Ingredients
serves 6
- Egg — to buy1 yolk
- Mustard — to buy1 tsp
- Neutral oil — to buy200 ml
- Vinegar — to buy1 tsp
Preparation
Take the egg out of the fridge a little ahead of time: the yolk should be at room temperature for the mayonnaise to emulsify well.
Mix the egg yolk with the mustard in a bowl, season with salt and pepper.
Pour in the oil in a very thin stream at first, without stopping, whisking energetically (by hand or with a hand blender): this is the trickiest part, go slowly so the emulsion takes.
Once the mayonnaise starts to thicken, you can pour the oil a bit faster while still whisking.
Once the mayonnaise is nice and firm, add the vinegar, taste and adjust the salt and pepper.
