Italian Mayonnaise

So this is a little more yellow than Kraft and a little saucier than my original mayo recipe.  But it is re-donk in terms of flavor, and I'm going to parlay this into a lot of different shit right here on the blog.
  • Two room temperature egg yolks
  • 1 cup of canola oil
  • 2T lemon juice/vinegar (I used the juice of 1/2 a lemon + the difference in white wine vinegar)
  • 1/2t Ground Mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
You can add anything to this: sage, basil, sun dried tomatoes, red bell peppers, garlic, cheeses (lots of 'em), horse radish, curry powder, chili powder, chili oil, gorgonzola, goat cheese, cilantro, limes, oranges, grapefruit, cream, Thai chilies, anchovies, etc.  Get real with what you want, and embrace anything.  Recognize your flavor goals and meet them with this base.  Fear not the mayonnaise.
