Green Mayo

Ever since my dear friend in England introduced Green Mayo to me... I have not looked at standard mayo! The little bit I had left in my fridge I've used for my family... for my taste buds knew better than plain mayo.
I use Green Mayo a lot in my veggie salads, on cold steamed butternut squash cubes (like potato salad), to dip veggies/chicken fingers/burgers, and for tuna/egg/avocado spread. It's tasty enough to spread on fresh fish or chicken cutlets before baking or broiling... you'll find yourself using this in soooo many dishes!

2 free range eggs
1 1/4 tspn sea salt
1/4 tspn freshly ground black pepper
1 Tblsp yellow mustard
4 cloves garlic
2 Tblsp white wine vinegar
40g fresh parsley leaves (1 cup)
5 cups cold pressed sunflower oil (any liquid oil should work)

1. In the bowl of your food processor, using the knife attachment, blend the first seven ingredients for three minutes.
2. Add oil, drip-by drip while machine is on high. Here's my tip: take a 7 oz. or 9 oz. plastic cup, and make a tiny hole on the bottom with a sharp pointy knife. Place the cup over the food processor spout and fill it with oil. You can then walk away, only to return to refill the cup with more oil.
3.Place mayo in a 2-quart glass jar.
4. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Mayo in Minutes

The one condiment most of our customers wish we would stock is ready mayo. And while we figure out the method to make raw eggs shelf stable (any suggestions welcome), I'm excited to share with you a super easy method for mayo making. It's so quickie, that I find myself preparing the mayo while my crew is already at the supper table waiting for their salad dressing. And best of all... cleanup is a cinch!
2 free range eggs
3/4 tspn sea salt
1 Tblsp white wine vinegar
1/2 tspn ground mustard
2 cups oil

Place eggs and salt in a 32 oz. glass jar. Place the handblender on the bottom of the container, and beat on high speed for 15 seconds. Add vinegar and mustard and beat for 10 seconds. Add oil 1/4 cup at a time, while mixing on high speed. Go around in circles with the blender, so that the oil incorporates well. This should take up to four minutes. Store mayo in fridge for 14 days.

And now... for our lucky Salsa & Duck Sauce winner... Congratulations to Daniella!

Dinner in a Jiffy!

Working/busy moms, this one's for you!! I make this dinner at least once a week, and surprisingly do not get bored of it in the least bit...
I love turkey! It satisfies me so much more than good 'ol chicken, yet does not have any of the heaviness of meat. More so, due to its tryptophan content, turkey is a relaxation-promoting food, just what I need after a full day of work! So... here's what you need for this dinner:

1 large onion, peeled and sliced
1/2 head garlic, peeled
4 mini turkey drumsticks
1 pkg. pre-cut butternut squash (available in most fruit stores)
1 bag frozen sugar snap peas

In the morning, before heading out to work, place onion and garlic cloves in a 4 qt. pot. Place turkey directly above. Do not add any water. Cover pot, and let cook on the lowest possible flame. Rush out to work. When you return home (6-8 hours later) dump squash and peas on top of turkey. Allow to cook for one more hour. Enjoy your one-pot delicious dinner. For me it's imperative to eat this with plenty of mayo or ketchup.
