Anchovy Mayonnaise

This homemade anchovy mayonnaise is a sophisticated twist on a classic condiment, offering a deep, savoury depth that shop-bought versions simply cannot match. By emulsifying rich egg yolks with a blend of light oils and zesty lemon juice, you create a velvety base that perfectly carries the salty punch of the anchovies. It is a fantastic dairy-free option for those looking to add a hit of umami to their repertoire.

Serve this versatile sauce alongside grilled Mediterranean vegetables, as a dip for crispy frites, or even as a bold dressing for a Caesar-style salad. Because it can be prepared up to a day in advance, it is an excellent choice for a stress-free dinner party or a simple weekend lunch. The bright citrus notes and seasoned finish make it a kitchen staple for any seafood lover.
