Garlic Basil Mayonnaise Recipe

Preparation: Place vegetable oil, egg, garlic , basil , mustard , lemon juice or vinegar , sugar, salt , and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Puree for 1 minute, stopping to scrape down sides. With the motor running, drizzle olive oil down the chute in a slow but steady stream. Stop as soon as the olive oil has been incorporated and mixture is thick and emulsified. Do not over-process or it will separate. Add 1 teaspoon of very hot water, pulsing several times to blend in. (This will help stabilize the mayonnaise.) Refrigerate leftovers and use within 7 days. Yield: about 1 cup
