VEGAN AQUAFABA MAYONNAISE

This vegan mayo is made using the liquid from a can of chickpeas and is the perfect topping for your plant-based burger. Most Dijon mustard is made with white wine, making it not entirely vegan, which is why I chose Maille® for this recipe.

Categories     condiment

Time 5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup aquafaba (the liquid strained from a 15.5-ounce can chickpeas)
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt
3/4 to 1 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Add the aquafaba, vinegar, mustard, honey and a generous pinch of salt to a high-powered blender or to a tall glass or jar if using an immersion blender. Blend on high speed until foamy, about 30 seconds.
  • With the blender running on high, begin to stream in the oil. Incorporate the oil very slowly, 1 to 2 minutes. (If using an immersion blender, raise and lower the blender near the end to incorporate air.) If mixture seems too thin, stream in more oil until the desired consistency is achieved. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Aquafaba: Select thick and viscous aquafaba from canned chickpeas, not homemade ones.
  • Chill Aquafaba and Ingredients: For a fluffier, lighter mayonnaise, chill the aquafaba and other ingredients beforehand.
  • Use a Clean Bowl and Utensils: Ensure your bowl and utensils are clean and free from grease to prevent the mayonnaise from splitting.
  • Add Oil Gradually: Slowly drizzle the oil into the aquafaba while whisking continuously to create a stable emulsion.
  • Adjust Seasonings: Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasonings to your preference. Common additions include salt, pepper, lemon juice, and mustard.
  • Make Flavored Mayonnaise: Experiment with different ingredients to create flavored mayonnaise, such as garlic, herb, or chili mayonnaise.
  • Use as a Base: Aquafaba mayonnaise can be used as a base for other sauces, such as tartar sauce or remoulade.

Conclusion:

Aquafaba mayonnaise is a delicious, versatile, and ethical substitute for traditional mayonnaise made with eggs. It's easy to make, customizable, and just as creamy and flavorful. Whether you're looking for a vegan, egg-free, or healthier alternative to mayonnaise, aquafaba mayonnaise is an excellent choice. So next time you're making a sandwich, salad, or burger, reach for aquafaba mayonnaise and experience the magic of this amazing ingredient.
