tuna dip

[Deleted]

1 can tuna (200g)
1 raw egg yolk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ lemon
2 pinches of curry powder
1 teaspoon of capers
20cl oil
Salt & pepper

In a bowl, mix the egg yolk and the mustard. Using a whisk, make the mayonnaise by pouring in a small amount of oil at a time. Make sure that the oil is completely absorbed into the mixture before adding more. Add the juice of the lemon, salt and pepper.

Drain the tuna and crush it with a fork. Add the capers and the curry powder.

Carefully mix the mayonnaise with the tuna, making sure that it is not too dry.

(Some of you will of course want to add chopped chilis or other items to the basic ingredients.)

Unfortunately, Americans won't make our own mayonnaise because we will die immediately after ingesting raw egg yolks.

Or so we keep being told. Over and over again.

Kerouac has given the tip for making mayonnaise that doesn't separate: always mix Dijon mustard with the egg yolk efore starting to add the oil. Infallible.

I tasted a small piece of rare duck breast in a chocolate sauce the other night, and I didn't die from it. But I wouldn't do it again.
