1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup water
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup vegetable or olive oil
prep: 15 minutes
total: 15 minutes
food processor (or blender)
Put the shallot, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper in a food processor (or blender). Let them sit 10 minutes to mellow the shallot's flavor. Add the egg yolk, water and red pepper flakes, and run the processor for 10 seconds. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while blending, until the mayonnaise becomes thick, white and creamy, 15-30 seconds. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
