MAYONNAISE: FRIED SHALLOT MAYONNAISE
Preparation time: 20 minutes. Ready to serve: 25 minutes. Yield: 2 3/4 cups.
Ingredients • 2 cups unrefined corn oil • 3 medium shallots, very thinly sliced (about 2/3 cup) • 1 pasteurized egg • 2/3 cup olive oil • 3 teaspoons rice wine vinegar • 1/2 teaspoon sugar • Kosher (coarse) salt to taste • Freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions 1. Heat corn oil in large skillet over medium heat to 350°F. Add shallots; cook, stirring constantly with wooden spoon until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or long-handled strainer, transfer shallots to paper towels. Reserve about two-thirds of the fried shallots for salad garnish.
2. Place remaining one-third fried shallots in mortar and pestle; grind into paste using pestle. Add egg; stir together thoroughly. Add olive oil, a few drops at a time, mixing with pestle. Continue until mixture has thickened. Fold in vinegar and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
