Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon White miso paste
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 2 teaspoons Capers, drained
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
1. In a blender or food processor, combine the aquafaba, lemon juice, white miso paste, peeled garlic clove, capers, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and ground black pepper.
2. Blend on high speed for about 15-30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.
3. While the blender is running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil in a steady stream. The mixture should thicken as you add the oil.
4. Once all the olive oil has been incorporated, stop the blender and scrape down the sides, if needed. Blend for an additional 5-10 seconds to fully combine.
5. Taste the mayo and adjust seasoning if needed by adding an extra pinch of salt, lemon juice, or pepper.
6. Transfer the mayo to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
