Ground pistachios and fresh basil make a delightfully different homemade mayonnaise. Great over hot pasta or in cold seafood pasta salad. My friend gave me the recipe. It's a nice change.
Ingredients
- 3 egg yolks shopping list
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
- juice of 1/2 lemon shopping list
- 1-1/2 Tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped shopping list
- 3 Tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped shopping list
- 3 Tablespoons ground pistachio nuts shopping list
How to make it
- Whisk egg yolks in a bowl. Continue to whisk and pour in oil in a very slow trickle, until it has all been absorbed. Still whisking, add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. Stir through basil, parsley, and pistachios to give a smooth very thick sauce.
- If the mayonnaise appears to be curdling, continue its preparation to the finish. Beat another egg yolk in a clean bowl and gradually whisk in the curdled sauce. The mayonnaise will keep, covered and chilled, for up to 24 hours.
- This is delicious served over hot fresh herb fettuccine or with cold shellfish and sugar snap peas in a pasta salad. It is less successful if made with a food processor or blender.
- Yield: about 1 cup
