Categories: April

Ingredients

• 75ml extra-virgin olive oil
• 75ml vegetable oil
• 2 medium egg yolks
• finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon, plus extra zest to garnish
• 2 good pinches flaked sea salt

Directions

1. Combine the oils in a jug. Put the yolks into a large bowl and, using an electric hand whisk, beat together to mix. Continue to whisk, gradually adding the oil in a slow trickle, until it begins to thicken and turn into a glossy mayonnaise, about 10 minutes.

2. Mix the lemon zest and juice and salt together and fold into the mayonnaise just before serving. Garnish with extra lemon zest and serve with seafood, chargrilled vegetables, or on sandwiches.
