Belgian Mayonnaise to Serve With Frites

This is taken from De Vlaamse Pot by Marie Cattoor. In Belgium everyone eats French Fries (which are actuallly Belgian) with homemade mayonnaise so here is a recipe so you can make your own.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  egg yolks
• 1  tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2  tablespoons fresh lemon juice
•  salt & pepper
• 1  tablespoon cold water
• 400  ml  salad oil

Directions

1. In a medium sized bowl place the egg yolks and the mustard, together with a Tablespoon of cold water. Beat this with a hand mixer until it is well blended. While continuing to beat the mixture bit by bit add the salad oil. If the mayonnaise becomes too thick, add a little more water. Still beating the mixture add the lemon juice and then taste to see if seasoned properly. If not add more salt & pepper to taste. Store the mayonnaise in the refrigerator in a covered bowl.
