Whats the secret to making a good mayonnaise?
I use Nigel Slater's. It rarely fails me.
large free-range egg yolks - 2
olive oil - at least 300ml
half a lemon
Break the yolks up. Now pour in the olive oil very, very slowly at first, almost drop by drop, stirring as you do until the mixture starts to thicken. If you get impatient and add the oil too quickly you will never get it to thicken, believe me.
Once you have a small amount of thickening mayonnaise you can turn up the speed a little, adding the oil in a long, thin trickle, stirring all the time. Stop when you have a thick mayonnaise. It need not be so thick you could cut it with a knife, but it should be well on the way. Squeeze the lemon juice in at the end, still stirring. The colour will fade, but should be almost crocus yellow.
Do you have any great ideas for using mushrooms?
A block of feta crumbled into a roaster. Mushrooms ripped into it. Tomatos sliced. Olives and capers sprinkled. Bit of black pepper. Mix up. Moderate oven. Eat with Warm rosemary flat breads (scoop the cheesy mess out of the pan, no plates or forks). My mouth is watering as I type.
Banana Overload!
2 frozen bananas, a teaspoon of sugar, maybe a bit of vanilla, 75ml of buttermilk. Blitz. Instant banana icecream.
