½

water
¼ tsp
ground cumin
2 tbsp

the work bowl and process to finely chop, approx. 10 seconds.
2. Add remaining ingredients (leave 1tbsp of oil aside), and process on Grind until smooth,
approx. 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add extra
water if too thick.

flaked salt
½ tsp
Dijon mustard
1 tsp
fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp
water

vegetable oil

lemon juice and water then process on Grind until smooth, approx. 30 seconds. Add
the oil through the drizzle holes of the bowl cover and pulse on grind after every 1⁄3 of

tarragon, basil, etc.), stems removed, with the yolks before adding the oil.
Tip: For a bolder-flavoured mayonnaise, increase the salt by 1⁄8 teaspoon, the Dijon by ¼
teaspoon and lemon juice to 1 tablespoon.
