mayonnaise

[meganjane]

I recently converted Neil Perry's Garlic Aioli to the TMX.  I roasted the garlic cloves. Unfortunately, I used macadamia oil and it tasted very strongly of macadamia! OK if that's the flavour you want. His recipe uses lemon juice, 3 egg yolks, 1 1/2 cups oil.

I poured the oil slowly onto the lid with the MC in. That worked really well.

I also have a boiled mayonnaise recipe of my mother's that I'll try tomorrow and will post if it works.

Did you see ILB's Nan's recipe? - is it similar ?

My never fail mayo is to have everything at room temperature, use vinegar instead of lemon juice as Tenina so kindly let us know (love that woman  ) then "cook" the egg and mustard on 37^o for 2 min to ensure everything is the same temp. Then add timer for 5 min at 37^o and add oil. have NEVER had a fail this way. DH even added the oil in less than 2 min the other day. I was horrified but it worked. I think the key is the temp at 37^o Even with everything sitting at room temp, the stainless steel bowl is colder than an egg or vinegar in a plastic bottle same as oil in a glass bottle. Well that is my take on it anyway lol. All I know is that it works and we go through heaps of mayo as the teens like mustard mayo on their veg 

THANKYOU KATHRYN! After 2 fails where I followed the EDC recipe exactly and used vinegar rather than lemon juice- I tried adding in the temp and it was PERFECT! YUM :-)

Welcome Lindy - great to have positive feedback

Yes MJ - some oils are just too strong for mayo. What oils are people using? I use Grape Seed as EVOO is too strong but I was thinking about using coconut - has anyone used it for mayo??  

[JulieO]

NayNay, I use peanut oil, see page 4.

Oh yes I saw that JO - it would have strong flavour too does it? Have you tried coconut?

I cannot even imagine mayo made with coconut oil. I would rather eat roo poop.

lmao!!!!!

I use sunflower I think.

Yep! ILB's Nan's Boiled Mayo is similar to my mum's. It works really well in the TMX.

I use 2/3 Rice Bran oil and 1/3 local olive oil.  I use the EDC book method and add the oil over 6 mins.  It is beautiful.

[meganjane]

I use either sunflower or rice bran. Grapeseed is also good.

Has anyone tried making Coleslaw Dressing from their mayo? I've tried, but it's just not tangy enough. I was thinking of adding some citric acid or Vit C powder to get that tanginess.
