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.
