Mayonnaise Lurie
Description
This classic homemade mayonnaise, often referred to as Mayonnaise Lurie, transforms simple pantry staples into a luxurious condiment. The base is built on fresh egg yolks and a robust Dijon mustard, which not only adds a sharp, tangy flavor but also helps stabilize the emulsion. Slowly whisking in vegetable oil creates a thick, velvety texture that far surpasses store-bought alternatives. A pinch of sugar balances the acidity, while salt and pepper enhance the depth of flavor. Perfect for elevating sandwiches, salads, or as a dipping sauce for fried foods, this recipe is a testament to the power of simple ingredients prepared with care.Ingredients
Directions
-
Separate the eggs, discarding the whites, and place the yolks in a large mixing bowl along with the Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, sugar, and paprika.
-
Whisk the egg yolks and seasonings vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
-
While whisking constantly and vigorously, begin adding the vegetable oil drop by drop to start the emulsion process.
-
Once the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify, you can slowly increase the flow of oil to a thin, steady stream, continuing to whisk continuously.
-
Continue adding the remaining oil and whisking until the mayonnaise is thick, creamy, and glossy.
-
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.
-
Transfer the finished mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
