Time 10m

Yield About 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 egg yolk
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup sunflower oil or other vegetable oil
1 garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons sweet Spanish pimentón
1/2 teaspoon hot Spanish pimentón
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Steps:

Put the yolk in a blender or food processor. Begin blending or processing and, with the motor running, slowly add the oils one at a time in a thin, steady trickle. (There is a tiny hole in the plunger of most food processors that makes this easy.)
Smash the garlic to a paste with the salt. Add it to the mayonnaise with the rest of the ingredients and process or blend briefly, until just combined.
