Directions

If Making Homemade Mayonnaise

1. In a Bingham's blender, combine the whole eggs, sherry vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and a bit of black pepper.
2. Start the blender on a low setting and slowly drizzle in the olive oil, gradually increasing the speed of the blender. This process helps emulsify the mixture, creating a thick, creamy mayonnaise. Continue blending until you reach the perfect viscosity.

Preparing the Aioli

1. If using prepared mayonnaise, place 12 ounces of Hellmann's mayonnaise in a mixing bowl.
2. Add the minced garlic and Captain Demo’s Big Truffle Sauce to the mayonnaise. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a smooth, rich aioli.
3. Gently fold in the chopped parsley and chives, adding a touch of elegance and a burst of fresh flavor to the sauce.
