Preparation
- Step 1
In a food processor or blender, combine basil, olive oil and a pinch of salt, and puree until smooth. Set aside.
- Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk, mustard, vinegar and garlic with a little salt and pepper. Whisk in the peanut oil, beginning a drop at a time. Whisk vigorously after each addition of oil, until mixture thickens and emulsifies. As the mayonnaise thickens, you can add the oil faster, in a thin, steady stream.
- Step 3
Whisk in basil mixture until smooth and homogenous. Adjust seasoning. Keep cold.
