Ingredients
- 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Juice of 1 lime
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/4 cups sunflower, groundnut (peanut) or light olive oil
- 1 red chile, seeded and shredded*
- 1 small bunch fresh cilantro leaves, very finely chopped
Instructions
- Pour the egg yolks into a bowl and mix with the garlic, mustard, and some of the lime juice.
- Adjust the seasonings with salt, and pepper and, using an electric hand mixer or whisk, beat the ingredients and gradually start to add the oil, one drop at a time. Keep adding the oil until the mixture thickens, and emulsifies. If the mayonnaise looks like it might split or break, add a spoonful or so of warm water and stir it in. This usually “brings it back.” If you find that your mayonnaise is too thick, add a little more warm water until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Stir in the chile, including the seeds (adding a few seeds at a time, depending on the desired heat), the cilantro, and the rest of the lime juice, to taste.
