New Mum’s Food Adventures

First of if it’s runny add more oil.

I used a basic recipe from YouTube but I added 1/8 of a teaspoon of onion powder and garlic powder to much batch for a gentle flavour. It’s surprisingly good and like Mayo. I have a mild issue with eggs and thought I would try it out.

Today’s batch I used macadamia oil with a neutral oil because macadamia oil is expensive but it is very healthy. Turned out amazing! We are not a vegan family but we have intolerances, issues and now two celiacs. So sometimes we make things from scratch to make sure it won’t make us sick.

This was pretty easy to eyeball it though. Can of chickpeas water, teaspoon of salt, tablespoon or more of Dijon mustard, lemon juice and a neutral oil. I used an immersion blender. I get between 500-800ml of Mayo. According to my container. That’s a lot of Mayo and for a lot cheaper. Because of the acidity from the lemon and the salt, it provides and all natural preservative. It lasts for quite sometime. But it is so delicious it gets consumed rather fast.

Since macadamia oil is supposed to be one of the best healthy oils around I thought it would be a good oil to add. It’s something I will be doing with chickpea water from now on. Everyone in the house loves it. Today I added a whole squeezed lemon instead of half to make it more tangy. Turned out great. Well worth trying.
