Servings
6
Ingredients
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • lemon juice, to taste
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup cilantro, chopped
  • salt, to taste
Directions
  1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the egg yolks, garlic, mustard, hot sauce, and vinegar. With the motor running, slowly add the vegetable oil.
  2. If the mixture appears too thick (similar to a mayonnaise), add 1 tablespoon of iced water at a time to thin out.
  3. When all of the oil has been emulsified into the mayonnaise, add the cilanto and lemon juice.
  4. Blend until almost smooth — do not blend longer that necessary to avoid your mayonnaise getting too warm.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Refrigerate until needed.
