Ingredients portion 6
Egg yolk 1 piece
Vinegar 1 tablespoon
Vegetable oil ½ cup
Cooking instructions 20 minutes
1 In a porcelain or earthenware bowl, beat the raw egg yolks, salt and stir with a whisk or spatula.
2 Then pour in the vegetable oil in small portions (teaspoonful at a time), mixing thoroughly with the yolks each time.
3 When the butter and yolks are a thick and smooth mixture, add the vinegar.
4 If the sauce is too thick, add about a tablespoon of warm water. For a spicier taste, ¼ teaspoon of cooked mustard can be added to the sauce and mixed with the egg yolks before sautéing in oil.
