Preparation
Step 1
How do you make mayonnaise with vinegar? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Since the eggs will be used raw, choose eggs from a reliable producer. Pre-sanitized eggs sold in stores are also excellent for dishes that contain raw eggs. Any mustard will work: the sharpness of the mayonnaise depends on it, so I recommend using a regular hot mustard. Use plain 6-9% vinegar without additives.
Step 2
For making the mayonnaise, you will need an immersion blender together with a blending cup. You can also use quail eggs if you like; they are considered cleaner. In that case, use 5 quail eggs instead of 1 chicken egg. Carefully crack the egg into the blender cup.
Step 3
Add the mustard and salt. For a more balanced flavor, you can also add a pinch of sugar.
Step 4
Cover the egg with the blender attachment.
Step 5
Start blending at the lowest speed, pouring in the vegetable oil in a thin stream.
Step 6
The vegetable oil can be any kind. But from my experience, after trial and error, I came to the conclusion that regular refined sunflower oil works best. Despite the value of olive oil, homemade mayonnaise made with it can taste slightly bitter. But if you prefer a certain oil, you can try making mayonnaise with it.
Step 7
If the mayonnaise turns out too thin, add a little more vegetable oil and it will become thicker.
Step 8
At the very end, pour in the vinegar and blend once more. The vinegar is exactly what gives homemade mayonnaise that distinctive mayonnaise flavor. Store this mayonnaise in the refrigerator for 2-3 days in a covered container.
Step 9
Homemade mayonnaise with vinegar made in a blender is suitable for dressing salads and for marinades. It also works very well for baking meat and fish, as it tolerates heat treatment well. Enjoy your meal!
