Easy Peasy
You will need:
- 300 g silken tofu
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 2–3 teaspoons sweet white miso paste (shiro miso)
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon sugar cane syrup*
- 2 teaspoons mild-flavoured olive oil
- A few grinds of black pepper
- 20 basil leaves, roughly chopped
Directions:
- 1Simply place all the ingredients, except the basil, in a blender and blitz for 12–15 seconds, or until smooth. Scrape into a bowl, stir the basil through and season to taste.
- 2Alternatively, you can blend the basil along with the rest of the ingredients to create a light green mayo.
- 3For the best flavour, make the mayo near serving time; but it will keep in the fridge for a day or two.
*Tip: If you don't have sugar cane syrup, simply dissolve 1 teaspoon caster sugar in the lemon juice. For a spicy mayo that pairs well with homemade avocado and vegetable sushi rolls, add a teaspoon or two of wasabi.
