If you use a food processor, you will no doubt have the perfect mayonnaise, a mixing bowl takes more effort.
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/2 juice of half lemon
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
dash Tabasco sauce
dash Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Place all ingredients, except the oil, in the food processor. Start the motor. SLOWLY, drip by drip, add the oil. Once an emulsion starts (it starts to thicken), you can add the oil more generously. Adjust seasonings, more salt, pepper, lemon. This will last 5-7 days in the refrigerator.
