Composition / ingredients
Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
To begin with, we will prepare and measure all the ingredients we need. In order not to be distracted by weighing during the cooking process.
Step 2:
Quail Eggs!absolutely! wash in warm running water. And dry it. I know that many people use nail scissors to get rid of the shell. But I don't like it that way. I'm doing this: I lightly hit the testicle with a knife, and with it I pierce the subcortical shell. Thus, it is almost always possible to keep the yolk intact, and the protein does not splash in all directions.
Step 3:
You will need to extract juice from half a lemon in any way convenient for you. I used the manual drive method :)
Step 4:
We send eggs, Dijon mustard (you can use ordinary "Russian" mustard, and even mustard powder), salt, sugar and pepper to taste into the blender bowl.
Step 5:
Then I reveal the secret of the success of homemade mayonnaise. The most important thing is to beat the eggs well! They can be warm or cold - it doesn't matter. The main thing is to achieve dense, airy foam. But not peaks! Otherwise, the mayonnaise will not thicken.
Step 6:
After that, slowly pour in the olive oil, and mix again in a blender. If you did everything right, the mayonnaise should thicken. Because of the olive oil, mayonnaise will get a slightly greenish tint - this is absolutely normal. If you want to get a color closer to white, use sunflower oil instead of olive oil in the same proportions.
Step 7:
And finally, add the juice of half a lemon to the blender, having previously filtered it through a sieve. And mix well again. The mayonnaise is ready.
I haven't bought industrial mayonnaise for many years. And all because one day my aunt taught me how to cook this real, delicious salad dressing.
Chicken eggs can be used instead of quail eggs, but only if you are 150% sure of their quality.
It is believed that quails do not suffer from salmonellosis. However, this is a myth.
Quails are the same chickens. And, unfortunately, salmonella affects these little birds with the same success as chickens.
Therefore, I have been buying quail eggs for a very long time only from trusted farmers, whom I fully trust. Which I advise you to do.
Bon appetit!
