Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams Walnuts
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 200 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not burned. Let them cool completely.
In a food processor or blender, add the cooled walnuts and pulse until they are finely ground, resembling a coarse sand-like texture.
Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Blend until smooth and well combined.
With the food processor running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil in a steady, thin stream. Continue blending until the mixture thickens into a creamy mayonnaise consistency.
If the mayonnaise is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if needed.
Transfer the walnut mayonnaise to a clean jar or container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
