Where to find ingredients
Eggs, lemons, and vegetable oil are staple items found in any local grocery shop or supermarket across Malawi. For the powdered seasoning, any standard savoury vegetable or chicken-style stock sachet available at your local market works perfectly as the base flavouring.
Preparation method
- Add the eggs, lemon juice, powdered seasoning, and salt into your blender jug
- Pulse the blender 2 or 3 times to get everything mixed together
- Turn the blender to its highest speed and slowly drizzle the oil in a thick stream through the lid opening
- Keep adding the oil until the mayonnaise reaches your preferred thickness and looks fully saturated
- Watch for the point where the mayo stops absorbing the oil and it starts pooling on top
- Carefully remove the blender lid
- Use a spoon to gently push the mixture down to the bottom of the jug, incorporating the remaining oil
- Be extra careful to keep the spoon away from the blender blades
- Continue blending if needed until you reach that perfect, silky consistency
