Making the mayonnaise and finishing

  1. Put the whole egg, vinegar and salt into a liquidizer or food processor. Turn on the machine and then slowly add the oil through the hole in the lid until you have a thick emulsion.

Sommelier

This classic Spanish tapa marries well with a white from the small DO Alella (Catalonia), with the typical floral touches of the local variety, Pansa Blanca.
