How To Make Haberno Mayo
The Ingredients
- Vegetable oil - Using a neutral vegetable oil is important when making mayo. I used avocado oil, but you can also use safflower oil or extra virgin olive oil.
- Egg yolk - Make sure to use a room-temperature egg; you'll only need the yolk.
- Habanero peppers - They pack so much heat and flavor! Make sure they're ripe (they should be around 2 inches long, firm, and emerald green or red.)
- Lemon juice - To give your mayo a tang and to balance all the ingredients. You can substitute for white vinegar as well.
- Dijon mustard - It's worth using a high-quality mustard to get the best-tasting keto mayonnaise.
The Directions
- Set your oven grill to the highest temperature and prepare a baking pan.
- Pierce the habanero peppers with a knife and transfer them to the baking pan. Drizzle one tablespoon of avocado oil over the peppers, then put the tray under the hot grill for 5 to 7 minutes until the peppers are charred.
- Remove the skins from the peppers, mash them with a fork, and then set aside.
- Place the egg yolk, lemon juice, water, and Dijon mustard in a tall mixing bowl or blender.
- Using a stick blender or blender, process the mixture while adding the remaining avocado oil in a stream until emulsified.
- Add the mashed habanero peppers and everything together well— season to taste with salt.
