Use a selection of in season fresh green herbs to make this anchovy and herb mayonnaise. It can be used as a salad dressing for grains, as a dip for artichokes, and as an accompaniment to lamb or chicken.
When I drive alone I often think of the words to a blog post. I don’t get very far as my attention is more on the road and so the blog post gets ‘written’ up to the first two or three paragraphs. I decided to speak out aloud one day, and dictate the blog post to Siri. This was the result:
Really learn something about very good driving car 16 maybe sitting next to me in the distraction in a detection in the car talking to me
Now, Siri might be an intelligent personal assistant, but she is not good at recognising where to put the full stops. And I did not remember to add them in when talking my blog post instead of thinking it. What I was on about was how easily distracted I am by having passengers in my car.
I tend to lose my focus a little bit easier. I still concentrate on the traffic around me, but I might forget to turn. Or I cannot ‘see’ the map of the road in my head clearly. The first time this happened I probably cost us 20 minutes of extra driving. Had I not been trying to hold a conversation I would have remembered the alternate route. The second time was when I was trying to avoid the school run rush. I decided not to take the most direct route as there were too many cars at the robot. And ended up forgetting to turn into the main road. Which meant I was slap bang in the same road as the school. Two not so very good results. I did however have a very good result with this anchovy and herb mayonnaise.
I am passionate about using regional, seasonable and sustainable produce when I cook. I live in Gordons Bay with my husband and dogs. Dave and I are busy building a house which is an adventure all in itself. Each year we visit a new place overseas to experience the food of the area. Follow along on our adventures!

Love the sound of this Tandy but no idea what verjuice is and don’t own a stick blender. I’m guessing my small processer will do the trick. I find that if I take a walk, I often work out the words to my next blog post.
A small processor would work perfectly, you just have to drizzle the oil in rather than do an all in one mix. Verjuice is a highly acidic juice made by pressing unripe grapes. I use it here like vinegar.
Hehe talk about multi tasking Tandy!! I don’t think I could while driving at all. Although I am a relatively new driver. I had an anchioade in Portland that was divine. I’ll have to give your version a go 😀
ahh i can just imagine how tasty this would be when used as a dip for steamed artichokes! my mom used to mix soy sauce and mayo for dipping, but i think i prefer the sound of yours better (;
The one trick is to make sure the yolk does not break and that you place the blender over the yolk. I have been making it this way for nearly 30 years 🙂
Sounds lovely.

Thanks, it is quite scrummy 🙂

I’m a big fan of anchovies, and this dressing sounds splendid. 🙂
We are enjoying it 🙂

I have not tried that again! It takes too much concetrating which is distracting 🙂
My Mother would love this; anchovies are a great favourite of hers.
Hope you make it for her 🙂

I have never tried your mom’s combination. That sounds interesting 🙂
I didn’t have any luck when trying to make blender mayo. I must try again:)
