Time 15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup fresh basil leaves
2 egg yolks
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¾ teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 ½ cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Prepare a bowl of ice water and have it standing nearby.
  • Place basil leaves into boiling water and blanch until leaves are bright green and slightly soft, about 10 seconds. Remove basil leaves with a fine mesh strainer and place into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain basil, wrap in a paper towel, and gently squeeze to remove excess moisture.
  • Place egg yolks into a container with a base slightly larger than the base of a stick blender, such as a measuring cup or large beer glass. Add garlic, lemon juice, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, basil leaves, and Dijon mustard to egg yolks. Pour vegetable oil over the top.
  • Push stick blender all the way to the bottom of the container. Pulse blender 6 or 8 times, about 1 second per time, until mixture begins to emulsify on the bottom. Once mayonnaise begins to form, raise the stick blender slightly in the container and continue to blend until all oil has run through the blender, mayonnaise is thick, and basil is finely chopped, 10 to 20 more seconds. Taste and adjust seasonings. Transfer to a bowl. Mayonnaise will keep, refrigerated, for 2 to 3 days.

  • Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

COLD LOBSTER WITH GARLIC AND BASIL MAYONNAISE



Cold Lobster With Garlic and Basil Mayonnaise image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 live lobsters, about 1 1/2 pounds each
Salt to taste
8 black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
1 cup virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
4 tablespoons basil leaves, cut into thin strips

Steps:

  • To cook lobsters, pour about 2 inches of water in the bottom of a large kettle or steamer. Add salt, peppercorns, red-pepper flakes, bay leaf and thyme. Bring water to a boil. Place lobsters in kettle and cover tightly. Return to a boil and cook over high heat for about 12 minutes. Remove lobsters and let them cool.
  • To make mayonnaise, combine egg yolk, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix well with a wire whisk.
  • Add oil in a thin stream while beating vigorously with a wire whisk. When mixture is thick and smooth, stir in remaining ingredients and blend well. Cover until ready to serve.
  • Before serving, split lobsters in half lengthwise and crack claws. Remove and discard small sacs near the eyes. Remove intestines through the middle of the tail. Serve at room temperature with mayonnaise.

Tips:

  • To make the basil oil, simply blend fresh basil leaves with olive oil until smooth. You can use a food processor or a blender for this. You can also find basil oil pre-made in some grocery stores.
  • If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil. Just be sure to use less, as it is more concentrated. You can also use other herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or thyme.
  • You can adjust the amount of garlic to your taste. If you like a more garlicky mayo, add more garlic. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
  • Basil garlic mayo is a great way to add flavor and richness to sandwiches, wraps, and salads. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for vegetables or chips.

Conclusion:

Basil garlic mayo is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients.
