Ingredients
50mlAquafabawater from a tin of chickpeas or that chickpeas have been cooked in.
2garlic cloveor up to 4, depending on how garlicky you like it.
125mlOlive Oilplay with the ratios of oil depending on how strong you want the olive oil flavour.
In a blender cup , start whizzing up the garlic, lemon juice and mustard so it's smooth.
2 garlic clove, 125 ml Sunflower Oil, 25 ml Lemon juice, 2 tablespoon dijon mustard
Add the aquafaba and whizz again to blend.
50 ml Aquafaba
With the motor on, add the oil bit by bit.
125 ml Olive Oil
It should start looking like very thin cream, keep adding oil, it will start to thicken up.
Add the olive oil, and keep whizzing.
Add the salt and taste. Add more lemon juice or salt as needed.
⅛ teaspoon Kala Namek -Black Himalayan Salt, flakey sea salt to taste
It's not an exact science, and you'll know when you reach the right 'flavour' and consistency.
Keep adjusting, maybe adding bit more oil & whipping more to thicken the mayo up.
Pour into a sterilised jar (I pour hot water over a jar, drain, & pop it in the oven on a low heat for 15 mins to dry out). This helps preserve the mayo a little longer. I have to say however, we (2 people!) managed to go through almost the whole jar in less than two weeks! No chance of it going off!
Notes
Keep the mayo in a jar in the fridge. It keeps for at least a month. Omit the garlic and olive oil for a less 'Spanish' and more standard tasting mayonaise. Eat on everything. Fries, sandwiches, burgers.. add to coleslaw. I wouldn't add it to smoothies though. That would be weird.
