Serves 4 (one large bowl)
- 2 egg yolks (very fresh)
- 1 level Tbsp mustard
- 200 ml (¾ cup + 1 Tbsp) neutral oil
- 100 ml (⅓ cup + 1 Tbsp) olive oil
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp chopped cornichons (gherkins)
- 1 tsp chopped capers
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp snipped chives
- 1 tsp chopped parsley
- a squeeze of lemon juice (or sherry vinegar)
- Salt, pepper
In the bowl of a food processor, put the two egg yolks, the mustard and the salt. Start whisking, then add the oil in a thin stream, giving it time to incorporate each time before adding more.
Once it has thickened to the consistency you want, transfer to a serving bowl and add the rest of the ingredients (pepper, shallot, cornichons, capers, garlic, chives, parsley and lemon juice). Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
