Ingredients
1 cup (requeijão glass size) cold milk
1 espresso cup of vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 packet unflavored gelatin
1 espresso cup of vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 packet unflavored gelatin
Where to find ingredients
Find these essentials at local supermarkets in Nuku'alofa or village shops. Look for standard vegetable oil, long-life or fresh milk in the dairy aisle, and unflavored gelatin in the baking section. As a common Brazilian cultural ingredient, 'requeijão' refers to the specific glass jar size used as a standard measure in Brazil; if unavailable, a standard 250ml measuring cup is an accurate substitute.
Preparation method
- Prepare the unflavored gelatin according to the package instructions and set aside.
- Place the cold milk, oil, and vinegar (or lemon juice) into the blender jar.
- Add the prepared unflavored gelatin to the blender.
- Blend all ingredients at high speed until a smooth and creamy mixture is achieved.
- Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to set before serving.
Observations
This light homemade mayonnaise recipe is a healthier alternative to the traditional version, ideal for those seeking a lighter option without sacrificing flavor. Prepared with only a few ingredients in a quick process, it is a versatile companion for sandwiches, salads, and snacks. The addition of unflavored gelatin provides a firm and creamy texture, making it an excellent choice for both special occasions and everyday meals.
