Home Made Coleslaw

[OlsBean]

Homegrown Red Cabbage, Carrots & Broccoli with homemade Full Fat Mayo, prep time including picking the veg and making the Mayo less than 15 minutes, result is a Nutritious and Low Insulinogenic Coleslaw, devoid of added sugar and artificial emulsifiers. Just saying! ‪#‎realfood‬ ‪#‎lchf‬

It's very simple, just an egg yolk, a teaspoon of cider vinegar, a teaspoon of mustard, like dijon or english depending on your taste and lastly some oil, I use light and mild (in flavour) Olive Oil because I find Normal Olive Oil is too strongly flavoured for Mayo.

The problem people have, including me, is with emulsifying but I now have it off to a fine art and have had no failures for a long long time, this is how I do it. I have a 20 year old hand held blender, one of those that has a plastic beaker that the head just fits in. The secret is to make sure the egg and container are warm in order to emulsify. So I put the whole egg in the shell in the beaker and cover it with hot tap water and leave it stand whilst I prep my veg. I then tip the water away and carefully split the egg, placing the unbroken egg yolk back in the beaker, to that I add a cap of the cider vinegar and the mustard, carefully and slowly I pour the oil over it so that it all remains quite separate in the beaker. Then I lower the head of the blender so it sits over the egg yolk and then simply switch it on, within seconds you have lovely thick Mayo.

Not it's not, I've not used or tried it though I have heard of it. My sister in law makes her own I think.

Yum, yum, I'm definitely going to try this as coleslaw is a big favourite of mine

I wonder how many attempts I'll need before I perfect the art of making mayonnaise. Fortunately I have a blender exactly the same as the one you describe, in fact I've just been using it for my homemade cream of mushroom and stilton and broccoli soups
