How to Make Rob Evan's Charred Rosemary Mayonnaise

  1. Lightly char 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary over an open flame or under a broiler until fragrant. Remove from heat, strip the leaves, and finely chop.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and add 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar.
  3. Gently crack 1 large egg into the simmering water. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
  4. Immediately transfer the cooked egg to a blender. Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
  5. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of high-quality extra virgin olive oil and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil until the mixture is thick and creamy.
  6. Stir in the chopped charred rosemary. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed.
  7. Makes approximately 1 cup of mayonnaise.
