How to Make Elderflower Mayonnaise
This recipe for Elderflower Mayonnaise is by one of our regular contributors Elizabeth McCorquodale.
This mayonnaise is particularly delicious as a dressing for fish. While it does require forward planning in order to steep the flowers in the oil overnight, it is possible to make a batch of elderflower-infused oil in advance and keep it in the larder for whenever it is required.
INGREDIENTS
2 egg yolks plus 1 whole egg
1 tbsp French mustard
The juice of ½ lemon
400ml (14 fl oz) rapeseed or sunflower oil (or a mixture of the two)
10 elderflower heads, trimmed and shaken
½ tsp sugar
Salt and pepper (to taste)
METHOD
1 Stir the elderflowers into the oil and leave to infuse overnight, then strain and discard the flowers.
2 Combine the remaining ingredients and mix vigorously, then add the oil very slowly while continuing to beat the mixture. A food processor or electric mixer is very handy for this stage.
