Skip to ingredients
For the dill oil
- bunch of dillfronds picked
- 240ml neutral oilsuch as sunflower
For the mayonnaise
- 1 medium egg
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clovegrated
- apple cider vinegarfor seasoning (optional)
Method
step 1
For the dill oil, put the dill fronds in a tall jug, pour in the oil and blend for 1 min using a hand blender. Pass through a sieve lined with muslin set over a bowl.
step 2
For the mayo, put the egg, mustard and garlic in the jug, then start to blend using the hand blender. With the blender fully down in the jug so it's in contact with the base, slowly pour the dill oil down the side of the jug, blending continuously until the mixture starts to emulsify. Slowly lift the blender slightly, blending as you do, until all the oil is incorporated. Season with sea salt flakes and a little apple cider vinegar, if you like.
