Mayonnaise

Recipes / Sauces

Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

1/2 cup soy milk
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon agave nectar
1 teaspoon salt
dash of hot sauce
fresh ground black pepper

Put the soy milk in a food processor and drizzle the oil in while it's running, until all the oil is absorbed.

Move to a bowl and whisk in the rest of the ingredients.

I use West Soy unsweetened soy milk, because it has the highest protein content I've found (9g per 240ml).

Turning from the blaze to the counterpanel // I saw how we are all great in our shortcomings, yea // greater because of them. There are letters in the alphabet // we don't know yet, but when we've remembered them // we'll know the luster of unsupported things. // Our negativity will have caught up with us // and we'll be better for it. Just // keep turning on lights, wasting electricity, // carousing with aardvarks, smashing the stemware. // These apartments we live in are nicer // than where we lived before, near the beginning. //

-- John Ashbery, "When I Saw the Invidious Flare"
