Σπιτική –αληθινή– μαγιονέζα σε χρόνο dt! – Real Mayonnaise

Πάντα ήθελα να τη φτιάξω μόνη μου και πάντα φοβόμουν. Φανταζόμουν πως χρειαζόταν εκπληκτικές ικανότητες και δεξιότητες σεφ βραβευμένου με τουλάχιστον δύο αστέρια Michelin για να τα καταφέρω. Αν και δεν τη χρησιμοποιώ συχνά στη μαγειρική μου –και υπάρχουν κάποιες εξαιρετικές μάρκες στην αγορά– ακόμα θυμάμαι (κι ας έχουν περάσει σχεδόν 15 χρόνια) τη σπιτική μαγιονέζα που έφτιαχνε φρέσκια κάθε μέρα, για το οικογενειακό γεύμα, ο μπαμπάς Ιταλίδας φίλης μου, με αυγά από τις δικές τους κότες – ναι ναι, δικές τους! Διαμένουσες σε ένα σούπερ μοντέρνο κοτετσάκι, στο πίσω μέρος του κήπου μιας κατά τ’αλλα σύγχρονης μεζονέτας. Δεν υπαινίσσομαι ότι θα ήταν σώφρον να στήσουμε κοτετσάκι στο μπαλκόνι της πολυκατοικίας, αλλά φρέσκα αυγά δόξα το θεό μπορούμε όλοι εύκολα να βρούμε. Και είναι πραγματικά πανεύκολο να φτιάξετε σπιτική μαγιονέζα! Τα μόνα υλικά που θα χρειαστείτε (για 400 γρ. περίπου) είναι:

Cook Time 5 minutes mins
Total Time 5 minutes mins
Course Ντρέσινγκ & Σάλτσες
Cuisine Γαλλική
Servings 400 γραμ.

Equipment

  • Μπλέντερ

Ingredients
  

  • 2 αυγά βιολογικά ή χωριάτικα
  • 1 κοφτή κουταλιά της σούπας μουστάρδα σε σκόνη
  • ¼ κουταλάκι του γλυκού ζάχαρη
  • αλάτι & άσπρο πιπέρι
  • 300 ml σπορέλαιο ή ελαιόλαδο
  • 1 κουταλιά της σούπας άσπρο ξύδι
  • 1 κουταλιά της σούπας χυμό λεμονιού

Instructions
 

  • Ρίχνετε στο μπλέντερ τα αυγά, τη μουστάρδα, τη ζάχαρη, αλάτι και πιπέρι κατά βούληση.
  • Αρχίζετε το χτύπημα (επιλέξτε μια μικρή αλλά σταθερή ταχύτητα) και προσθέτετε πολύ αργά το λάδι. To μυστικό είναι να πέφτει σχεδόν σαν μια «κλωστούλα», αλλά με σταθερή ροή μέχρι να το πάρει όλο.
  • Στο τέλος προσθέτετε το ξύδι και το λεμόνι, ανακατεύετε λίγακι ακόμα et voilà!

Notes

Tο ελαιόλαδο γενικά έχει πιο έντονη γεύση ενώ το σπορέλαιο –αραβοσιτέλαιο ή ηλιέλαιο– θα σας δώσει ένα πιο ελαφρύ αποτέλεσμα. Επιλέξτε ό,τι προτιμάτε αλλά μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιήσετε και μισό-μισό.
Real Mayonnaise

Back when I was in high school, we did that student exchange thing. I have fond memories of the family who hosted me in La Maddalena, a small island just a mile off the northeastern shore of Sardinia, Italy. The meals were amazing and even though I daily had a very hearty breakfast, lunch, and dinner comprising of all typical Italian courses in a meal, I ended up going back home several pounds lighter instead of gaining any weight. We were of course roaming the streets all day long and had had a ton of activities to attend to, but I honestly put it all down to the quality of the food I was consuming at the time: real, fresh, unprocessed, locally grown products, respectfully handled and lovingly cooked. I distinctly remember how my host’s dad insisted on whipping up his own, daily batch of home-made real mayonnaise using fresh eggs from his very own hens, residing in a sweet little chicken-coop at the back yard of their otherwise contemporary condo!

Ever since, whenever a recipe called for mayonnaise I would always think of my Italian family! And then I would put my head down and walk the store aisle in shame, to pick up my small sinful jar. Until I gave a try at making my own and got it right on take one. Gasp! Super simple, super-fast, super velvety thick. What the heck have I been thinking not having a go all this time?!

Total Time 5 minutes mins
Course Sauce
Cuisine French
Servings 14 oz

Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs organic
  • 1 tbsp mustard powder
  • a pinch of sugar, salt & white pepper
  • 300 ml olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Pop the eggs, mustard powder, pinch of sugar, salt & pepper in your blender and turn it on at medium speed.
  • Remove the funnel cup on your blender lid and start drizzling in the olive oil in a really, really slow manner (it should look as thick as a string of thread as you pour it) until it is all added to the mixture.
  • Add the vinegar and lemon juice… and there you have it!

Notes

*Raw eggs are not recommended for infants, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with a weakened immune system. To avoid the risk of salmonella infection, make sure you use pasteurized eggs from a source you trust—other than that, both vinegar and olive oil are known to kill bacteria.

“When summer's end is nighing And skies at eve “When summer's end is nighing
 And skies at evening cloud,
I muse on change and fortune
 And all the feats I vowed
 When I was young and proud.”
