Lacto-Fermented Mayonnaise

 ref: https://lauralivesthegoodlife.com/recipes/lacto-fermented-probiotic-mayonnaise/

Directions for immersion blender. Probably should use pasterized egg to be safe. I added probiotic fluid to hopefully make it stay shelf stable longer. Only allowed to ferment 1-2 hours at room temperature instead of 5-8 hours. Only used 1 Tbs probiotic liquid but maybe could used 2 Tbs?

Directions:

Lightly beat and put in bottom of immerions blender cup

  • 1 egg at room temperature 
Put the following on top of egg in immersion blender cup
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1+ tsp mustartd
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbs probiotic liquid (yogurt whey, fermented sauerkraut juice....)
Gently pour in on top of ingredients in immersion blender cup. 
  • 3/4 cup mild flavor oil (avocado, grapeseed....)
Make sure oil is sitting on top of everything.

Put immersion blender on bottom of cup. Blend on high. As mayonnaise forms, wand can be moved up to incorporate the rest of the oil.

5/24/24 Used homemade sauerkraut juice and fermented about 1 hour at room temperature.

5/25/24 Used yogurt whey. Ran out of avocado oil so used 1/4 cup olive oil. Didn't hurt the flavor too much. Fermented 2 hours at room temperature.

Directions for immersion blender. Probably should use pasterized egg to be safe. Probably keeps 1 week in fridge. Makes about one cup. Very tasty! Much better than store bought.

Directions:

Lightly beat and put in bottom of immersion blender cup
  • 1 egg at ROOM TEMPERATURE (Our house was at 75F when I made this.)
Blend in bowl and put on top of egg in immersion blender cup
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vinegar (I used regular white vinegar)
  • 1 tsp mustard (Acts as emulsifier) (I used Koops brown horseradish mustard) 
  • 1.5 tsp lemon juice
Gently pour in on top of ingredients in immersion blender
  • 3/4 cup mild flavor oil (I used avocado oil, but could use grapeseed or ? Olive oil may have too overpowering flavor)
Make sure Oil is sitting on top of everything.

Put immersion blender on bottom of cup. Blend on high. As mayonnaise forms can move wand up to incorporate the rest of the oil.

Note: There is wiggle room on the recipe. Lemon juice range 1-2 tsp., Vinegar 1 tsp- 1 Tbs, mustard 1/4 tsp - 1 tbs, salt 1/4 - 1/2 tsp, oil 3/4 c - 1 c.
