hi I'm Jennifer from special fork I am going to show you how delicious and easy it is to make your own mayonnaise when you use a food processor to begin with we're going to start with one whole egg so the yolk and the white into the bottom of the food processor about half a teaspoon of Dijon mustard kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper put the lid on the processor and turn on the motor but first let me just explain to you we're going to add about a cup of oil we have half a cup of olive oil 1/2 a cup of canola oil the reason why we do a mixture is you don't want a overpowering taste which the extra-virgin olive oil can give it if you use it on its own so we cut that with a neutral oil that doesn't have a lot of taste such as the canola or a vegetable oil and then you end up with a very nicely balanced mayonnaise so when you're adding your oil you want to do it in a very thin steady stream and that allows you to incorporate that oil into the egg and you don't end up with a big mess of eggs loading around and oil if you do it slowly enough because your emulsifying the sauce which is bringing two ingredients together that normally wouldn't want to come together so we do it in a thin steady stream and the egg will soak up all of that way so next with the motor still running you want to add about a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice and now take the lid off and we've got fresh mayonnaise here homemade mayonnaise so be careful as you are scraping it out of the food processor the blade is fairly sharp here so you want to scrape out the mayonnaise scrape it out the rest of the bowl here so now let's taste it mmm delicious for more recipes and ideas on your smartphone please visit special 4.com you
