Ingredients

  • 3 egg yolks
  • pinch English mustard powder
  • pinch ground white pepper, or use ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp cider vinegar
  • 250ml groundnut oil
  • 50ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • zest 1 lemon
  • 1 bunch chives, finely chopped

Method

  1. Mix the egg yolks with the mustard powder, pepper, 1 tbsp cider vinegar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix the oils together in a jug. Use an electric whisk to whisk the yolk mixture, then very slowly, drip-by-drip, add the oil. When the mixture is pale and thicker, and no oil is visible, swap from a drip to a slow, steady stream – whisking all the while.

  2. When all the oil is added and you have a thick mayonnaise, taste and season with more vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir in the lemon zest and chives, then chill until ready to serve.
