I started looking into how to make an Easy Mayonnaise Recipe, after a few occasions when the store bought stuff made our household sick.
We rarely have it, but it’s the base for a Seafood Sauce that we like with our prawns and other seafood over Christmas and birthdays.
Looking into other Easy Mayonnaise Recipes online, they were trying to use:
Raw eggs – salmonella alert. Not interested in making us sick again.
Boiled eggs – those who tried it said it tasted terrible.
Oil – didn’t suit my lower fat diet.
Blender – whiz it too much & it would curdle, too little & it didn’t work. Then you would have to clean out the whole sticky mess!
Often too it was in a big batch, when you really only need a small amount, so you would waste a lot of it.
Then I found it – a much better Easy Mayonnaise option. Given that we pro metabolic types are not afraid of sugar any more, this version was a total possibility. I can’t remember whether I found it on the side of a can or when searching online, but it is the version made from Sweetened Condensed Milk.
The original recipe used a whole can of Sweetened Condensed Milk which is way too much for my needs, so I have divided it down to make a smaller batch which suits about 2 meals. Also the original recipe had mustard powder in it. Now mustard powder was popular about 50 years ago when they didn’t have many other mustard options, however I always have Dijon Mustard in my my fridge to have with steak! I tried it in this recipe and it works a treat.
This Easy Mayonnaise Recipe has only three ingredients and I always have these ingredients on hand at home anyway! Time to share, here is my variation:
Easy Mayonnaise Recipe - No Egg, No Oil, No Blender!
Equipment
- 1 small bowl
- 1 spoon
Ingredients
- 2 TBS Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 2 TBS White Vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a small bowl with a spoon until well combined.
- Refrigerate for a few hours to thicken up.
AND THAT’S IT!
Can you believe it’s so easy? It tastes better than the store bought one – creamy, tangy, flavourful. It may appear a little runny when first mixed, however place it in the fridge for a few hours and it thickens up.
It keeps for up to a week in the fridge in a sealed container. But honestly, it takes about 10 seconds to make, so why wouldn’t you just make a small fresh batch any time you need it?
Then even more good news, it takes only another 10 seconds and 2 more ingredients to make Seafood Sauce!
Easy Seafood Sauce
1 TBS Homemade Mayonnaise
2 TBS Fresh Cream
1 TBS Tomato Sauce
Salt/Pepper
Method
All ingredients in a small bowl and mix together with a spoon & done!
I’ve made both of these about ten times now. It always works and is delicious. Best of all, no-one gets sick any more. We can enjoy our seafood and feel nothing but great afterwards.
Enjoy!
