Method - Mayonnaise

Put Egg Yolk in a small mixing bowl. Add a pinch of Salt and a pinch of Black Pepper. Take a Whisk and mix just a little bit. Start by adding very little oil. Maybe 20-30 ml. Whisk till it becomes a somewhat loose paste. From here on, keep adding 20-30 ml of oil and keep whisking it in. One thing that is quite against expectation in this process is that the mixture becomes thicker as you add more oil. So don't be discouraged if initially your mixture is loose. As long as you mixture has not split (Eggs separated from Oil), you are good. Keep whisking and keep adding the Oil until you have used it all. By this time, your Mayonnaise would have taken aa lovely thick texture. That's it. It is that simple.

WARNING: Please note that since we have not added any stabiliser or preservatives in this (Hence Chemicals free), this needs to be consumed right away or maximum within 24 hours. Otherwise the whole thing will split. That's why, I am sharing a bonus Devilled Eggs recipe that you can use this lovely Mayonnaise in. You should be able to use half of the Mayonnaise you just made into this recipe. All the best!

Method - Devilled Eggs

Heat a wide pan and throw in the Bacon. If you do not eat Bacon, Chicken keema will be a good replacement. If you use Chicken Keema, do not forget to season it with Salt and Pepper and caramelise it well to give it a crispy texture. If you are using Bacon, you do not need seasoning. Cook the Bacon until "Really" crispy. Take the bacon out and blitz it in a food processor to make a coarse sand-like texture.

Cut in half and take the yolk out from the Boiled Eggs and reserve the whites for later. Take a mixing bowl and crumble the Egg Yolks in it. Add Mayonnaise, add half of the Bacon/Chicken sand. Add Relish or chopped Gherkins. Add chopped Parsley. Add Lime Juice. Mix everything well. Now you take this mixture and fill into the hollow Egg Whites. If you wanna go fancy, use a piping bag.

Plating

Start with the remaining Bacon/Chicken sand in the middle of the plate. Use the Greens and the sliced Gherkin around the sand to create a composition. Be creative and have fun. Place the Eggs on top. Garnish with some Parsley leaves on top.
