Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh eggs, lemons, and vegetable oil at any local Gambian market or grocery shop, such as those found in Serekunda or Fajara. Powdered seasoning (such as bouillon cubes or local seasoning mixes) is widely available in all small neighbourhood shops (boutiques).
Preparation method
- Add the eggs, lemon juice, powdered seasoning, and salt into the blender jar.
- Pulse the blender 2 or 3 times to briefly combine the ingredients.
- Set the blender to high speed and begin pouring the oil in a thick, steady stream through the lid opening.
- Continue adding the oil until the mayonnaise reaches your desired consistency and looks saturated with oil.
- Notice that the mayonnaise will stop absorbing more oil and it will begin to pool on the surface.
- Carefully remove the blender lid.
- Use a spoon to gently push the mayonnaise down to the bottom of the jar, folding in any remaining oil on top.
- Be careful to ensure the spoon does not touch the blender blades.
- Continue blending if necessary until you achieve the perfect, thick consistency.
