Mayonnaise without egg
Hello,
Some days ago while eating on work I listened how a woman tell other woman how to make a mayonnaise without using egg. At the end is just as simple as replacing the egg with milk, which have some advantages
- Specially on summer you end with the risk of salmonella
- Reduce the cholesterol supplied by the egg (you can use nonfat milk)
- It can be preserved more time
Ingredients:
- One measure of milk
- Two measures of oil (sunflower oil recommended)
- Salt
- Lemon of vinegar
- Ground pepper (optional)
- Garlic (optional)
And this is extremely simple. Just add on a blender cup one part of milk (which could be nonfat milk) and two parts of sunflower oil, add also some drops of lemon juice or vinegar and a pinch of salt. Optionally you can also add some ground pepper or garlic cloves, and of course some other ingredients you like.
Place the mixer at the bottom of the cup and start mixing. In just few seconds the milk and oil will emulsionate and you need to move up and down a few time the mixer, then you’re ready.
You can use this sauce in a lot of recipes and sandwiches. I’ve used it together with some asparagus just painted with olive oil, with a pinch of salt and ground pepper baked in the oven at 350ºF (180ºC) for 20 minutes.

Pizza
Hello,
I really love pizza, without any kind of doubt it deserves to be in a top list of food inventions, it’s kinda those recipes you will eat each day, and probably you will need long time to hate it :). For this pizza I made a dough which is very similar to bread, it give pizza a stunning looking and also great taste. Regarding the ingredients, I’ve used just a small set, so just use your imagination and/or preferences to cook pizza.
Ingredients:
- 300 gr flour
- 50 gr olive oil
- 2-3 gr dry baker’s yeast
- Crushed tomatoes
- Tunna
- Mozzarella cheese
- 6 olives
- Oregano
Let’s start making the dough, in a bowl put 300 gr of flour and 2-3 gr of dry baker’s yeast, mix well with your hands. Add a coffeespoon of salt and like one tablespoon of oregano, mix again with your hands. Add 50 gr of olive oil, and 150 gr of water, better it is warm. Mix well with a wooden spoon until the dough is formed, then knead with your hands first on the bowl, and after a while spread a bit of flour in the table and continue kneading on the table for at least 5 to 6 minutes until dough becomes very elastic and not sticky. Make a ball with the dough, spread some flour in the bowl, and keep the dough in the bowl covered with a cloth resting for at least one hour.
After one hour you can see how the dough increased it volume several times. Knead it for a while and start to give it the shape smashing the dough with your hands , slowly but constantly.
Place the dough over the oven tray and with your fingers extend the edges to give the pizza a circular shape. Let rest the dough 20-30 minutes. Smash again the dough and extend with your fingers.
Spread tomato sauce over the dough, and then spread grated mozarella cheese (or any other kind of cheese, at your choice). As said before this is a really basic pizza, I added tuna and olives and finally covered with more mozarella cheese, but just use your favourite ingredients instead these ones :).
Cook in the oven at 390ºF (200º C) for about 20 minutes, and your pizza is ready.
