Serves 6

  • 1/3 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped fine
  • 2 Garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3/4 cup Expeller pressed sunflower oil, plus more as needed to form an emulsion or until thick

  • 1 Large fresh serrano pepper(s), stem removed
  • 2 Large eggs, yolks only

Instructions

  3. In a blender or food processor, add egg yolks, mustard, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and serrano pepper. Blend until smooth.
  4. While blender is running, slowly add oil in a steady stream until an emulsion forms and mixture gets very thick like mayonnaise. Season to taste.
