Mayonnaise

This recipe was a request which I am so glad was made! I tried to come up with a spice mix that would be a good substitute for mustard and the result definitely made my plate of raw vegetables much more interesting. The spices I chose can be substituted for others if  preferred. 

MAYONNAISE
 1 yolk
1/8 tsp ground cardamom
1/8 tsp sweet paprika (not hot)
1/8 tsp ground caraway seeds
1 tsp cream of tartar
35-60ml extra virgin olive oil

1. Place a small bowl on a tea towel/dish cloth to prevent it from moving

2. Put all ingredients except the oil into the bowl and whisk well for around 30 seconds

3. Add oil very slowly at first, whisking all the while

4. Keep adding oil and whisking until desired consistency is achieved (I stopped at 35ml)

5. Continue to whisk for another 30 seconds until mayonnaise is thick and shiny

Enjoy immediately ❤️
