Ingredients

  • 2 egg yolks, preferably free range
  • 175ml rapeseed, sunflower oil or half sunflower, half olive oil
  • 1-3 garlic cloves crushed (depending on how strong you want it)
  • ¼ tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • ½ tsp white wine vinegar (optional)

Method

  1. Put the egg yolks in a mixing bowl and lightly whisk, then add the oil, a short drizzle at a time while continuing to whisk. This technique is important because the oil and egg will otherwise not emulsify. Mix in the garlic, mustard and vinegar, if using, and ¼ tsp salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Will keep chilled in a jar for up to three days.
