baconnaise

Need some help on this one

Mixed two egg yolks with some mustard and lemon juice. Added 1 cup bacon grease and whipped the hell out of it. What am i doing wrong that its not whipped and fluffy like mayo? Mine is more like bacon dressing

Had a brocoli and cauliflower head getn old in the fridge so i chopped them down with some red onion, bacon crumb s, diced pecans/walnuts, thick grated cheese. But this bacconaise doesnt seem quite right, wasnt trying to make bacon dressing,,,,,,

i say go with it

Need to add the grease slowly.......... so it emulsifies.

I've in fact seen a bacon mayo product at my regular grocery store, stumbled upon it while I was looking for chipolte mayo, thought it was fucked that shit like that exists. Chipolte mayo is a nice way to add a little zip to your cold cut sandwiches. On second thought bacon mayo could make for a fine potato salad.

1 egg
1 tbsp wine vinegar
300 ml (10 1/2 fl oz) sunflower oil
Salt and pepper

Add the egg, mustard and white wine vinegar to a food processor.  Process to blend.  Slowly add the sunflower oil in a slow drizzle allowing it to emulsify.  Add seasoning and bacon.   Continue to process until you get the texture you like. 

You can just add the bacon and go with that, but I'd probably process it slightly to chip up the bacon bits a touch. 

Hutch, that sounds good, but more like sunfloweromega6overload-aise

I might try it by substituting bacon grease for the sunflower oil. I like the idea of mining bacon into the baconnaise. And i happen to have some fresh broc that i need to use. Yum

Speaking of grease.....
