Ingredients
- 50 ml Aquafaba water from a tin of chickpeas or that chickpeas have been cooked in.
- 2 garlic clove or up to 4, depending on how garlicky you like it.
- 125 ml Olive Oil play with the ratios of oil depending on how strong you want the olive oil flavour.
- 125 ml Sunflower Oil
- 25 ml Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon dijon mustard
- ⅛ teaspoon Kala Namek -Black Himalayan Salt if you want an eggy flavour. Optional
- flakey sea salt to taste
Instructions
- 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 tbsp 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 tsp 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.
