Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole red bell pepper
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Place the red bell pepper on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, turning it occasionally, until the skin is blistered and charred.
Remove the pepper from the oven and place it in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skin.
Peel the skin off the roasted pepper, remove the stem and seeds, and chop it into small pieces.
In a food processor, combine the roasted red pepper, egg yolk, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and vegetable oil together.
With the food processor running, very slowly drizzle in the mixed oils a little at a time, allowing the mayonnaise to emulsify and thicken. This process should take a few minutes.
Once all the oil is incorporated, scrape down the sides of the food processor and blend for an additional 10 seconds to ensure a smooth texture.
Season with ground black pepper and additional salt, if needed, to taste.
Transfer the roasted red pepper mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
