Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Tarragon leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Capers, drained and roughly chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Combine the olive oil and vegetable oil in a small jug or measuring cup with a spout.
While whisking constantly, begin adding the oil mixture to the egg yolk mixture one drop at a time. Once the mixture starts to thicken, you can slowly pour in the oil in a thin stream, continuing to whisk vigorously until fully combined.
Stir in the chopped tarragon and capers to evenly incorporate the herbs and capers into the mayonnaise.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Transfer the tarragon mayonnaise to a serving dish or airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving if refrigerated.
