The peruvian mayonnaise doesn’t have the same taste than the packed ones. If you use fresh ingredients (including fresh limes), you’ll get an amazing mayonnaise, with a special flavour that will be a great accompaniment with a lot of your dishes. With this recipe, you’ll get one cup of mayonnaise, more or less.
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon of mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of lime juice
- 1 cup of vegetable oil
- Pepper
Preparation:
Put all the ingredients, except the oil, in a blender. Blend in a medium speed and add the oil gradually until the mayonnaise gets thick. Verify the season.
Hi,
I’m Peruvian. At home, I used to put all the ingredients into the blender, except: oil and lime juice. The oil is added gradually to get the characteristic consistency of the mayo till you are happy with the result. And just at the end, I add the lime juice to give it the “Peruvian touch”. Otherwise, the mayo is ruined.
What kind of vegetable oil would you recommend?
Dan,
Anyone. Soy, sunflower… the one that you like the most.
Good luck!
