The history of the origin of mayonnaise says that it appeared in 1756.
When
the Duke de Richelieu laid siege to the port of Mahon on the Mediterranean island of Menorca
, when the Duke’s cook discovered that there was not enough cream on the island to make dressing for the festive table, he invented an egg and butter dressing. He later named this dressing mayonnaise in honor of the victory over the British. We will tell you how to properly prepare mayonnaise at home.
Ingredients for mayonnaise:
- Milk – 150 ml;
- Vegetable oil – 300 ml;
- Salt – 0.5 tsp;
- Sugar – 1 tsp;
- Lemon juice – 3 tbsp;
- Mustard – 1 tsp.
Preparation of mayonnaise:
Mix milk and vegetable oil, whip them with a blender until the mass does not begin to thicken.
Then add salt, sugar, lemon juice and mustard to the mass, once again whip
.
The main thing is not to overdo it and do not whip mayonnaise longer than it should be.
Otherwise, it may turn out too thick in consistency.
Put the mayonnaise in a container where we plan to store it.
This dressing is great for any dish instead of store-bought mayonnaise. Compared to store-bought mayonnaise, homemade mayonnaise is less harmful.
