HOMEMADE GARLIC BASIL MAYONNAISE



Homemade Garlic Basil Mayonnaise image

I didn't invent the technique of making mayonnaise with a stick blender, but since I don't remember who showed me, it's just going to be easier to take credit. If you've never tasted delicious homemade mayonnaise, you've never tasted mayonnaise.

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes

Time 15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup fresh basil leaves
2 egg yolks
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¾ teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 ½ cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Prepare a bowl of ice water and have it standing nearby.
  • Place basil leaves into boiling water and blanch until leaves are bright green and slightly soft, about 10 seconds. Remove basil leaves with a fine mesh strainer and place into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain basil, wrap in a paper towel, and gently squeeze to remove excess moisture.
  • Place egg yolks into a container with a base slightly larger than the base of a stick blender, such as a measuring cup or large beer glass. Add garlic, lemon juice, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, basil leaves, and Dijon mustard to egg yolks. Pour vegetable oil over the top.
  • Push stick blender all the way to the bottom of the container. Pulse blender 6 or 8 times, about 1 second per time, until mixture begins to emulsify on the bottom. Once mayonnaise begins to form, raise the stick blender slightly in the container and continue to blend until all oil has run through the blender, mayonnaise is thick, and basil is finely chopped, 10 to 20 more seconds. Taste and adjust seasonings. Transfer to a bowl. Mayonnaise will keep, refrigerated, for 2 to 3 days.

BASIL SPREAD FOR SANDWICHES



Basil Spread for Sandwiches image

This basil spread is great on sandwiches instead of using plain mayo. The Wholefoods market I go to uses it on some of their sandwiches but I have not made it myself. The recipe comes from their "American Summer Style" recipe booklet. In the booklet it is used on their grilled veggie sandwich but I have had it on their salmon sandwich among many others and it is very good.
