VEGAN MAYONNAISE for ETHIOPIAN OTHODOX LENT

At Refugee Community Kitchen we believe it's important to serve culturally familiar food & condiments. It's currently Ethiopian Orthodox Lent, which means that some of the people we serve will eat vegan until April 18th. Our vegan mayonnaise has been going down really well - it's made of AQUAFABA a.k.a. chick pea juice!

Here's a recipe for you to try at home:

*2 cups Aquafaba

*2.5 cups veg oil (any flavourless veg oil will do)

*1.5 tablespoons lemon juice

*1.5 tablespoons white wine vinegar

*2.5 tablespoons dijon mustard

*pinch of salt

Put all the ingredients (expect for the oil) in a bowl and combine with stick blender. When combined, slowly but steadily add the oil, making sure the blender is sucking in some air, so that it gets foamy, and eventually goes white. Keep adding oil until it will stick to a spoon without dripping. Now add more salt, mustard, vinegar to taste, or get creative and add chili or garlic!
