Description

This vibrant Tomatillo Scallion Mayonnaise is a versatile sauce that brings a zesty, fresh kick to any meal. The recipe begins with a classic, rich homemade mayonnaise made from egg yolks, vinegar, and oil, providing a luxurious texture. This base is then folded into a refreshing mixture of husked tomatillos, sharp scallions, and a touch of sour cream. The result is a complex flavor profile that balances creamy richness with acidic brightness. Perfect as a dip for chips, a topping for tacos, or a spread for sandwiches, this sauce adds a pop of color and flavor. It is best served fresh but keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the egg yolks, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Tabasco, and Worcestershire sauce.
  2. Whisk the mixture vigorously.
  3. Gradually add the vegetable oil, a drop at a time, whisking constantly until the mixture begins to thicken.
  4. As the mixture emulsifies and resembles mayonnaise, continue adding the oil more generously while whisking until all oil is incorporated.
  5. In a blender, combine the sliced scallions, sour cream, and fresh lemon juice.
  6. Pulse a few times to combine, then puree until smooth.
  7. Add the chopped tomatillos, salt, pepper, and half of the prepared mayonnaise to the blender.
  8. Blend just until combined.
