Thirty Second Mayonnaise
"Whenever I have looked at recipes for mayonnaise in the past, they always seemed quite laborious to me, slowly dripping in the oil drop by drop. But when I recently visited a friend in France, he showed me how he makes mayonnaise in 30 seconds with delicious results! Couldn't be easier than this."

directions
- The type of container is important for this. You want a tall, thin jug in which to mix the mayonnaise. My friend used a measuring cup that very much resembled a glass beaker like you would see in a science lab.
- Put the egg, mustard and pepper in the jug.
- Pour in the oil.
- Put a hand blender in the container, push it all the way to the bottom and then turn it on, slowly pulling it up towards the top of the jug as you see the mixture turning into mayonnaise.
- Pour in the lemon juice once you have your jug of mayonnaise and stir or blitz one more time to combine.
- Add any other seasonings you desire.

Runny, it just doesn't work. After you make it, mix it half and half with regular mayo for a usable dressing.

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
