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.
One of my favorite salads. Nutritious and gentle. I never salt this salad. Cucumbers, mushrooms and cheese give the right taste. There is a similar salad on the website, but this one is different.
I offer you a delicious homemade pizza. The dough turns out soft and fluffy. And the sauce that I cook consists not only of ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard. For the filling, I take sausages and canned pineapples. Pizza is quickly cooked in the oven and served hot when the cheese has not melted yet.
My mother and I have been preparing this salad all my childhood. Our family really liked him. Now I am my wife and mother and I also cook this salad. And when parents come to visit, eating this salad, we often remember the times of our childhood.
A long time ago I found this recipe on the Internet and now, finally, it’s on our holiday table! To be honest, I have made my own changes and additions. Now, by the decision of the family council, this salad falls into the category – favorite and festive!
Yes, yes, don’t laugh. That’s the name of this salad that I tried yesterday. It was so delicious and easy to prepare that I decided to cook it for my husband for dinner and treat you.
