Serves: 1
 

Ingredients:

1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
4 cloves garlic -- to taste, (up to 7)
1/2 cup spicy globe or lemon basil -- - tightly packed
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard or
1 teaspoon style-style mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice or cider vinegar
1 dash sugar
1 teaspoon salt and pepper -- to taste
2/3 cup olive oil
 

Preparation:

Put all ingredients except the olive oil in a blender or food processor fitted with a steel blade. Puree for 1 minute, then slowly add the olive oil with the machine still running. Stop as soon as all the olive oil has been added and the oil has emulsified. Do not over-blend. A tablespoon of hot water blended into the finished mayonnaise will stabilize it.
