- Easy
- Makes 350ml
Ingredients
- 3 egg yolks (freeze the whites for use in another recipe)
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 300ml sunflower oil
- ½ lemon, juiced
Method
- STEP 1
Tip the egg yolks into the bowl of a mini food processor with the mustard and some seasoning, and briefly whizz to combine. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the sunflower oil in a very thin, steady stream. It should take around 10-15 minutes to add all the oil.

Once all the oil has been incorporated, you will have a thick, emulsified mayonnaise. Season with the lemon juice and some salt and pepper.
