FOOD HACKS: Cheats Homemade Mayonnaise in minutes

Posted By: Málaga Food Guide Team – Málaga Province

Mayonnaise

For a quick homemade mayonnaise using just a hand blender with the blade attachment and a jug you can create a vortex which will help the ingredients emulsify easily.
You’ll need 1 egg, 1 cup of vegetable oil, 1-2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
Put the egg in the bottom of the jug with the vinegar and half the oil, then place the blender on top of the egg and start blitzing on a low speed until the ingredients come together.
Once combined, slowly add the remaining oil, whilst still blitzing.
If the sauce appears a little too thick add a drop of water. Season with salt and pepper

Aioli

Use the same technique and quantities as for mayonnaise but substitute minced garlic for the vinegar. You want a thicker consistency for aioli, so don’t add any water.

Hollandaise

The perfect sauce to go with asparagus (now in season) and eggs.
Cut 175g of butter into cubes and melt in the microwave in a glass jug using the medium-low power setting.
The white that settles at the bottom you don’t want, just use the clear, gold liquid above, which is clarified butter.
In a tall jug, combine 3 egg yolks with some lemon juice, 1.5 tablespoons of water and a pinch of salt and cayenne pepper then whizz them together, before slowly adding the hot clarified butter over 45 seconds.
Pouring the butter in slowly prevents you scrambling the eggs. Serve immediately whilst still warm.
