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.
Why is it “Light”? Because that’s what my first taster son said!))) He was eating a sandwich and talking: “Oh, how light they are! Can I eat?” And so, until you have eaten the whole plate)))
It just amazed me – because the ingredients are familiar and affordable, and the taste is simply amazing! And juicy, and bright, and crunchy! When we were students, we rarely went to a cafe to eat salads – usually the rule was that you need to eat right at home so that you have enough money for everything else. We all liked the salad, so far no holiday goes without it! I would really like you to try it too!
It is unlikely that I will surprise anyone with sandwiches, but maybe they will seem new to someone, and for someone there will be a reason to remember the old days. To heal.
I read about this dish on the Internet, but when I started cooking, I improvised.. it turned out so delicious that I couldn’t share it. There are similar ones on the site, but my casserole is different. I often cook pancakes, steak, potato pancakes with meat, etc., but this is the first time I cook this dish.
A delicious snack that combines two dishes – a salad and an appetizer. The guests will be satisfied. Perfect for a festive table. It is easy to prepare and looks very original.
Very tasty and original salad. Dried apricots give a sweet taste. The salad is really worth cooking. If you don’t, mushrooms will rule. The products go well together.
