Method

  • step 1

    Tip the egg yolks into the bowl of a mini food processor with the mustard and some seasoning, and briefly whizz to combine. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the sunflower oil in a very thin, steady stream. It should take around 10-15 minutes to add all the oil.

  • step 2

    Once all the oil has been incorporated, you will have a thick, emulsified mayonnaise. Season with the lemon juice and some salt and pepper.

This was so simple to make and really worth doing from scratch compared to the shop bought version! I added in some mixed herbs as well for extra flavour.
