Ingredients

150 ml	extra virgin olive oil
½ large	lemon, juice only
4 large	cloves garlic
3 large	eggs, yolks only
	salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
¼ tsp	mustard powder, optional

Instructions

It is simpler to use a blender on slow to medium speed to mix, but it is possible to make the sauce with a whisk if you have experience with making mayonnaise, which uses very similar methods. However you would then need to crush the garlic to a pulp in advance. Not only can this be used with fish and seafood, it can also be used as a dip with julienned vegetables (raw veg cut into thin strips).

Place all ingredients with the exception of the oil(s) into the bowl and blend for a few seconds. Drizzle the oil in very slowly while the blender continues to run throughout.

At some point the sauce will thicken and become a vibrant yellow colour. Stop adding oil and turn off the blender.

Pour or spoon the sauce into a serving bowl after removing the blender blade and set aside until required.

Options: add a dash of mustard powder as a change in flavour. Thin with 2 tbsp of hot water for a thinner sauce.
