EmailIngredients:
1 egg
2 cloves garlic
1 pinch sea salt
1-2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 cup sunflower oil
1 cup olive oil
Procedure:
1. Place the egg, garlic cloves and salt in a food processor and whirl them until the garlic is completely blended.
2. Add the vinegar and process a couple seconds more.
3. Gradually add the oil to the mixture. It is very important that you add it in a thin, steady stream, especially in the beginning, until the mayonnaise thickens.
*If the mayonnaise comes out too runny, you can thicken it by adding an egg to the food processor and combining it with the mayonnaise, pouring it in a steady thin stream.
*You can also make this using a mortar and prestle, and substituting the vinegar for lemon juice.
