Ingredients

• 4 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 2 large Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 medium Garlic clove, minced
• 0.75 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Water (optional, for thinning)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat until hot.

Step 2

Lightly char the rosemary sprigs in the dry skillet, turning occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until aromatic and slightly blackened in spots. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Once cooled, strip the charred leaves from the rosemary stems and finely chop the leaves. Discard the stems.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until combined.

Step 5

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, a few drops at a time to start, while whisking constantly to emulsify. Gradually increase the drizzle to a thin stream as the mixture thickens.

Step 6

Once half the olive oil has been incorporated, whisk in the vegetable oil in the same manner until the mayonnaise has reached a thick, creamy consistency.

Step 7

Stir in the finely chopped charred rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 8

For a thinner consistency, whisk in water 1 teaspoon at a time until desired thickness is reached.

Step 9

Transfer the mayonnaise to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Step 10

Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
