Horseradish Mayonnaise
Recipe by Rory O'Connell
- Servesas needed
Ingredients
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon of caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons of wine vinegar
- 150ml sunflower oil or olive oil or a mixture
- 1 heaped tablespoon of finely, grated fresh horseradish
- 1 teaspoon of chopped tarragon
Method
This is so easy and so good. The sauce will keep in your fridge for a week and is delicious served with fish cakes, smoked fish and I also love it with grilled or roast beef.
Put the egg yolks, mustard, sugar and vinegar in a bowl. Whisk well and add the oil gradually in a slow and steady stream while whisking all the time. The sauce will emulsify and thicken quite easily. Add the horseradish and chopped herbs. Taste and correct seasoning. It is unlikely to need salt because of the large quantity of mustard.
Chill until needed.
