Fresh cilantro whipped into pesto with a little toasted almonds, cotija cheese and garlic. Perfect as a spread on toasted bread rounds or as topping for fish, chicken, steak … really, the options are endless.

Smooth, creamy, luxurious, and super fast to make, you might slap yourself for not doing this from the get-go. Plus, come on, it’s unprocessed!

A delicious twist on a classic pesto Genovese. The hint of lime gives it a lighter, summery flavour. Perfect for pasta, as a salad dressing or on steak or chicken breast.

Cheap and easy to make, I keep a store of this stock in the freezer so I always have it on hand.

I am in shock. I need to try this one out. I’ve been making mayo for years, using a very similar recipe and technique, but in my recipe, the oil needs to be added bit by bit, in a steady stream, while keeping the stick blender mixing in an up and down motion. Failure to do so creates a flopped mayonnaise.
I’ve just got to try it your way, with all the oil added at once. Sounds SO much simpler.
I’m not sure how much 1.25 c. of oil is in liters, but I can easily use 1/2 a L to a single egg. It might be a bit more than that.
Alternatives: You can add any flavorings you like to the mayo. I often put garlic and dill for a really yummy twist.
Quick fix: If you FAIL your mayo (looks like it curdles then falls apart), don’t despair, there IS a way to fix it!
Simply start over with a fresh egg, and start blending. Then, use the wrecked mayo as your “oil” and pour in as you blend. You will have perfect mayo on your second try.
Once you start making your own, you might not want to stop!

I have not made mayonnaise but am wondering what kind of oil do you think makes the best?

@spiderwoman: I used olive oil and it was way too strong for me. I’m going to try using canola oil next time around.

So, since I am a home cooker in training, can anyone explain to me what a stick blender is? And if I do not have one, can I still make this recipe?
