Many people have the custom to make everything on Pesach from scratch and this year many might decide to follow suit, just because they can’t get all their usual products. So it’s time to learn to make your own homemade condiments: mayonnaise, tartar sauce, ketchup, and their many variations.
Outstanding mayonnaise can be easily made at home. The flavor is unlike any store-bought version. Your creation will be garlicky, fragrant, and tangy with a delicate hint of full-bodied flavor from the olive oil. Keep in mind that the more olive oil you use, the stronger the flavor the mayonnaise will have. That’s why the classic recipe combines olive oil and vegetable or another neutral-tasting oil to make a mayonnaise that isn’t too intense.

While it’s extremely satisfying to make mayonnaise by hand, you can also combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, and any other flavorings in a mini food processor. While the machine is running, add the oil, a few drops at a time, and blend until the mixture is thickened and pale in color. The result will be just as delicious as if you made it with a whisk and bowl.
