Method
- Place all the ingredients except the oil into the blender, switch the blender on at medium speed and blend the ingredients very well, once they have blended together, while the blender is still running, slowly add all of the oil - a bit at a time, blending it well as you are adding the oil,.
- Once you have added all of the oil and the mixture seems smooth, switch off the blender, remove the lid and inspect the mayonnaise.
The texture of the mayonnaise, should be thick and creamy, and have a healthy shine to it. The taste and texture in your mouth should also be smooth and tangy, with just that the hint of garlic.
Should the mixture not be correct blend it together for a few minutes more, and then retest.
When ready, transfer the mixture to a clean jar or container, seal and label it with the date on it, as this mayonnaise should keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
