Also known as Home-Made Bacon-Flavored Mayo!

Wuff used the opportunity of his Bison Bacon(X5) Bourbon BBQ Burger to learn how to make his own Mayo/Aioli, and not only does this stuff taste bodacious, but it is super-easy to make with just a cup and a stick blender!

Ever run out of mayo in the middle of a bacon egg lettuce & tomato sandwich, and have to eat it "dry"? Never will be a problem for you again, if you have a bit of oil, an egg, and a bit of mustard laying about! Want to make an over-the-top sauce for a tender, flaky bit of fish? Try a lemon, dill, capers flavored version! Want to add a spicy savory touch to your club sandwich? Why not top it with Chipotle Sriracha kicked-up mayo?

There are SO MANY options you can use, limited only by your own imagination! Master the basics of this, and they are all in your command!

This isn't entirely a "basic" version, but wuff will give that option after this bacon version.

NOTE: This recipe uses raw eggs. Pregnant women, those with compromised immune systems, and similar folks may wish to take the precaution of using pasteurized eggs to make this. The risks of salmonella from unpasteurized raw eggs is exceedingly low, but pasteurization eliminates even that unlikely event.

A "neutral" oil is one with very little of its own flavor. Canola oil (aka "Rapeseed oil), grape seed oil, vegetable oil, etc., are good choices. You want the basic emulsion to be flavored by the spices, garlic, or other additions, and then to pick up the flavors of any later oils/fats, such as olive oil. A "neutral" oil builds the emulsion without adding its own flavor notes.

"Omnivore" salt is a wonderfully flavored combination of organic herbs and spices, and gourmet sea salt. You can find it here: http://www.omnivoresalt.com

Ingredients:

2 eggs (pasteurized if desired)
1/3-1/2 C "Neutral" oil
~1/2 C bacon grease
2 tsp (~3 cloves) crushed/minced garlic
1 heaping tsp Dijon Mustard
1/4 tsp "Omnivore" salt (or sea salt)
1/4 tsp white Pepper

Directions:

Heat the bacon grease briefly in the microwave (about 20 seconds) until completely liquid, but not too hot.
Crack the eggs into the bottom of a heavy somewhat narrow, tall-sided container. A "Mason" jar (Qt), 2-Cup glass measuring cup, etc., will work well.
Add the garlic, salt, and mustard.
Using the sick blender, blend the eggs with the other ingredients.

With the blunder still running, gradually pour in 1/3 C of the neutral oil. The mustard/egg mixture will combine into an emulsion. You should not see any 'free' oil in the mix. The emulsion will start thickening.

With the blender still running, gradually pour the bacon fat into the mixture. The fat will combine with the existing emulsion and continue to thicken.

If the mixture is not quite thick enough for your preferences, gradually blend in the remaining neutral oil.

Will keep, covered, in the refrigerator at least a week.

+++++++++

A 'traditional" Aioli uses olive oil instead of the bacon grease, and only one egg for the amount wuff made. A precaution: Virgin olive oil consists of micro-encapsulated bits of olive components in their oil covering. If you violently work that oil, you can break up those little micro-drops and release rather bitter notes. The stick blender can be strong enough to do this if you over-work the mixture. Most recipes call for hand-whisking the olive oil. This definitely works, but can be quite a bit of effort. If you don't pour the olive oil too slowly, you can get the same results much more quickly, but just be careful to work quickly with virgin olive oil and stop blending just as soon as the last of it is combined.

Other ideas for flavorings and mixtures, or come up with your own! This is VERY versatile and simple, and VERY tasty stuff!

- Cumin, cayenne and lime juice
- saffron and garlic (fish and poultry)
- lemon juice and tarragon (Fish)
- horse radish & chopped chives (great on beef)

= Remoulade: Increase the Dijon mustard to 1 Tbs, then whisk in after the mayo is prepared:
1/4 cup finely chopped cornichons (Tiny, French, Sweet Pickles)
Tablespoon chopped capers
1 anchovy fillet, finely chopped
3 tablespoons chopped parsey
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chervil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon

Have fun with this stuff!
