Baconnaise - My Ketogenic Kitchen

Is Egg Salad Keto Friendly?

Is Kale Keto Friendly? – No Bun Please

Mayonnaise is a condiment that folks both actually love or actually hate. There’s hardly ever any in-between.

Personally, I largely fall into the “hate it” class, however it’s additionally a condiment that’s bland sufficient and has the fitting texture to make it tremendous helpful. I continuously use it, mixed with heavy cream or bitter cream, to face-in for “cream of” soups in casseroles. It’s additionally probably the most frequent selection of binder in fridge-model salads (eg, tuna, egg, or rooster salad, coleslaw, and so on. and so forth). So, having a superb mayo readily available is a should in a effectively-stocked keto kitchen.

Now, relying on availability in your space (and availability in your funds) yow will discover a superb high quality mayo made with avocado or coconut oil in lieu of Frankenfood seed or soy oils, however typically it’s simpler all-round to only make your individual.

As I discussed, I’m not likely a mayo fan, so to make it much more palatable (and to present a little bit additional zip to my concoctions that use it), I flip common outdated mayo into “Baconnaise,” also referred to as bacon mayo. The one meals that has the potential to make just about every little thing higher is bacon, and within the case of mayonnaise… effectively, let’s simply say it’s not an exception.

Notes: I can whip up my mayo in a short time and simply with my immersion blender, however for those who don’t have one, that’s OK! I included alternate directions for a meals processor. Read them by way of and know that I actually imply it once I say to drizzle slowly.

I’m additionally not kidding once I say to depart your freshly made mayo out on the counter for 1-3 days. There have been lab research carried out on this, and the nutshell is that the anti-bacterial energy of the acid within the vinegar, scorching sauce, and mustard powder is inhibited by the chilly, so placing freshly made mayo proper into the fridge stops these elements from doing their job combating salmonella. However, the acids will kill probably the most micro organism by about 72 hours at room temperature, and a good quantity of it’s gone on the 24-hour mark, so it must be fit for human consumption after a day until you’re significantly immune-compromised.

So, I’m not nuts on this one. Trust me.

I take advantage of gentle olive oil in my mayonnaise-making, primarily as a result of I don’t take care of the stronger taste the opposite permitted oils lend to the emulsion. If you like avocado oil, or one other pleasant oil, be at liberty to swap it in.

The final word is that I’ve additionally included directions within the notes on how one can make simply plain, outdated mayo (it’s so simple as utilizing all of the oil of your selection and leaving out the bacon grease).

Ingredients

1 giant egg
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp mustard powder
1/4 tsp scorching pepper sauce (I take advantage of Frank’s Red Hot)
pepper, to style, if desired (sure, I do know that is bizarre)
1 tbsp. (1/2 fl oz/ 15 ml) apple cider vinegar
1/4 c (2 fl oz/ 59 ml) bacon drippings, liquidifed and cooled
3/4 c (6 fl oz/ 177 ml) gentle olive oil (or oil of your selection)

Instructions

For the immersion blender:
Crack the egg straight into your blender cup, then add the mustard powder, sea salt, scorching sauce, pepper (if desired), and vinegar.
Pour the oil straight over the egg and seasonings then prime it off with the cooled liquid bacon drippings.
Put the blender “stick” into the cup, all the way in which down on the backside.
Turn it on and maintain it on the backside of the cup till you see the white of the emulsion forming and beginning to come in direction of the floor.
Very slowly pull upwards on the blender “stick” to include the remainder of the oil.
Once the oil is all included into the mayo, switch the mayo to a mason jar, put the lid on, and let it stand on the counter for twenty-four-72 hours earlier than refrigerating.
For the meals processor:
Put the egg and all of the seasonings and vinegar into the meals processor, and put the lid on.
Mix the cooled bacon drippings and the oil right into a container with a pourable spout. A liquid measuring cup is sweet for this.
Turn the meals processor on and let it run a couple of seconds, then very slowly begin to drizzle the oil into the meals processor by way of the spout in a gradual, however very sluggish and skinny stream. You could must cease and begin the pouring a couple of occasions to permit the meals processor to catch up. That’s OK.
Once all of the oil is within the processor and it’s all included into the emulsion, flip it off and switch the mayo to a mason jar. Put the lid on and let it stand on the counter for twenty-four-48 hours earlier than refrigerating.
