Mayonnaise is a French cold sauce made from egg yolk, vegetable oil, mustard, vinegar, salt and sugar, sometimes mustard. This is a classic composition of a culinary product, but its cooking technologies vary. Mayonnaise can be high-calorie, medium-calorie and low-calorie. Also, the sauce is classified into dietary and snack.
How to Make Mayonnaise at Home?
It is very easy to prepare mayonnaise at home. To do this, it is enough to have a mixer or blender. For the preparation of mayonnaise, a blender is preferable, since the whipping speed is higher. To make homemade mayonnaise look lush and airy, vegetable oil is poured into a blender in a thin stream and whipped at a very high speed. Gradually, yolks and other ingredients are added to the oil. The whipped vegetable oil turns white and yellow, just like a real purchased mayonnaise. During the preparation of homemade mayonnaise, you can add additional products, for example, garlic, honey, nutmeg, ground black or red pepper.
How to Use Mayonnaise?
In cooking, mayonnaise is used to prepare various fish, meat and vegetable dishes. The sauce is an excellent dressing for salads, able to emphasize their taste. It is impossible to imagine such a salad as olivier without mayonnaise.
The culinary product complements soups, second courses, snacks, it is used as gravy for pasta and potatoes, marinade for barbecue, as well as as a basis for cooking tartare and other sauces. The product does not go well with sweet dishes, but it is sometimes added in small quantities to knead shortbread dough.
A very tasty and simple salad that can be prepared in a few minutes while the rice is cooking. And then quickly assemble and serve to the table. Salted peanuts are a wonderful addition to the salad and gives it a piquant shade.
A hearty, simple salad, similar in taste to the well-known “Olivier”. Only in this salad cucumbers – fresh and dressing – with mustard in French for piquancy!
A delicious snack from the available products! A harmonious combination of fish and carrot pate with crunchy crackers! A great option for a buffet table or an aperitif! The cooking time is indicated without frying carrots.
The experimental version eventually pleased us. In general, the name of the dish is “Meat in French”, but we will not be so pretentious and decided to do what we always do in the oven. These are pork chops with mushrooms, tomatoes and cheese mixture. What kind of experiment is this? We grilled it. As I said above, we were very pleased with the result.
A very simple and very tasty salad! I didn’t even think that with such a minimal set of available products, such a successful combination would turn out! Nuts play an important role here, so I advise you not to spare them and add more! Enjoy your meal.
Absolutely seasonal salad. Country house… It’s summer here, the day is already hot enough, I want something fresh and light, but still green… They are very fond of greens, including wild ones… I love asparagus, usually I also eat it alive right away, but this year I have to share it with my family…
