Hey adbow, while waiting for mten to follow up I thought I could give you a head start on a "sauce"/dip/dressing. I'm experimenting dropping certain oils, like soy bean oil, and am using avocado oil as a substitute. You make it like this (manual method)
1 Mixing bowl
1 whisk
Avocado oil
1 egg yolk
1 tsp mustard (your choice)
salt
pepper
Whisk the egg, mustard, salt and pepper in the bottom of the mixing bowl. Add a few drops of oil, whisk, Add a few drops of oil, whisk, Add a few drops of oil, whisk, Add a few drops of oil, whisk, Add a few drops of oil, whisk...
When the mixture starts to thicken and make some attempts at peaks you can add more oil between whisking. If you make a mistake and add too much oil, set that bowl aside add another egg yolk and spices to another bowl and use the broken batch as the oil into the new bowl more slowly.
Here's a picture of apox 1 cup I made 2 days ago. I'll use the batch within 2 weeks or so. I use to eat A LOT more mayo - making my own I use A LOT less cause I know I'll have to make more sooner
I present you... "Avocadonnaise"
