Mayonnaise

I included the recipe for garlic mayonnaise in my Easter Dinner article, but I'm posting up plain mayo now, because I made a fresh batch for banh mi.

Ingredients:

• kosher salt
• 1 egg yolk
• Salt and White Pepper
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Directions:

• Break egg yolk into small mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Mix on medium low for about a minute, until the yolk becomes pale.
• Add lemon juice and mix thouroughly.
• Mix in garlic paste.
• Mixing constantly on medium low add oil a drop at a time until it starts to thicken and then in a slow and steady stream, until thick and creamy.
