Tofu (eggless) mayonnaise.

Friday, November 19th, 2010

I have been wanting to make this tofu mayo ever since I came across it (in the book mentioned in the recipe section below). It was actually one of the main reasons I decided to buy the book really. The first attempt with this was sort of a disaster (a few weeks ago) as my blender sucks and the motor will start to heat whatever is being blended fairly quickly. The recipe calls for blending the ingredients for two minutes but when I did that it just turned into hot vinegar soup, yuck. So on the second attempt I just blended it for about 20 seconds before I started to pour in the remaining oil, just enough to get a mayo consistency. As I added more oil it got a bit thinner but after a little while in the fridge it was pretty much just like mayo.

Pa boy sandwich with homemade mayonnaise.

A couple of quick stories. First the Pa Boy, it’s named after a sandwich Pa made when he was in town a couple months ago (no shrimp, just kinda clever). When we went to Trader Joe’s he was “allowed” to pick out some items of his own. The things he grabbed were deli meat and these awesome little artisan rolls (and an apple pie). When we got back home Pa made up some sandwiches, Z ate ‘em up like crazy. We’ve been getting these rolls for sandwiches “like when Pa was here” ever since. A simple sandwich consisting of sliced deli meat, tomatoes and mayonnaise, add whatever you like but keeping it simple is best here. We mmmm with every bite of these. Thank you for dropping these little babies in da basket Pa.
