Mayonnaise with Chives and Dill

Ingredients

• 1 egg yolk
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tsp sharp mustard
• 0.5 untreated lemon (zest and juice)
• 125 ml rapeseed oil
• 2 Tbsp freshly chopped herbs (e.g., chives and parsley)
• Salt
• pepper (from the mill)

Instructions

1. 1.

   All ingredients for the mayonnaise should be at room temperature. Whisk the egg yolk with salt, mustard, and 1 tbsp lemon juice vigorously. Then add a few drops of oil using a whisk or hand mixer, gradually pouring in the remaining oil in a thin stream.

2. 2.

   Always pour only enough oil so that it is immediately bound by the egg yolk, creating a creamy mayonnaise. Stir in the lemon zest and herbs, then season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
