Mayo

So today has been a day of cleaning, cooking and baking. I feel quite tired already actually but I'm hoping to just relax in front of the TV after dinner.

We tried to make some Paleo mayonnaise (http://paleodietlifestyle.com/paleo-mayonnaise/) that in the end turned out quite well. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of this but since we only used olive oil it turned out quite yellow, compared to the mayo that you normally make or buy in the store. If you are up for it, here's the recipe.

Ingredients
(makes 1 1/4 cup)
2 egg yolks
1 tsp Dijon mustard
3 tsp lemon juice
1 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

1. Place the yolks in a bowl (blender, food processor) with the mustard and 1 tsp lemon juice and mix those ingredients together.
2. Start whisking vigorously (blender or food processor on low) while dripping the oil very slowly, even drop by drop in the beginning. You're creating an emulsion and if you put too much oil at once, it will separate and will be very hard to save. Whisk non-stop and use a towel under the bowl to help stabilize it.
3. As you add more oil, the emulsion will form and the mayonnaise will start to thicken and you can pour the oil faster at this point.
4. When all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick, add the rest of the lemon juice and taste your creation. Add some salt and pepper.
