Lime and Dill Mayonnaise

Goes nicely with poached salmon

Ingredients:

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 300ml olive oil
  • 1T lime juice
  • 2T chopped fresh dill
  • Salt
  • White pepper

    Method:
    Whisk together the egg yolks, lime juice, and a dash of salt and pepper together in a large bowl for a minute or so. Add the oil in small amounts (teaspoon to tablespoon at a time), beating vigourously until the oil is half gone, then pour the remaining oil into the emulsion in a steady stream (find a friend!), whisking constantly. Add the chopped dill and give the whole thing another minute or so of whisking, then chill before serving with salmon.

    By way of explanation…

    This is an individual post, which may not be very recent. For the latest stuff on meish dot org, please visit the main page.

    By the way, I'm female. It doesn't have much impact on what I write about, or how I write, but I thought I'd point it out because so many people who link to this site seem to assume I'm male.

    The clue's in the name: Meg. Like all those other female Megs.

    What’s all this, then?

    This is a personal site, created and curated continuously since early 2000 by Meg Pickard, a creative geek, passionate photographer, anthropologist and web experience /community /social media specialist, who works for The Guardian & lives in London, UK.
     
    The site includes a blog - a personal and evolving collection of links, opinions, thoughts, ideas, anecdotes and musings - as well as a variety of other projects. It is also a place to aggregate some of the author's distributed web activity, like photos, links and music.

    Important note #1

    This is a personal site. The contents and opinions contained within don't necessarily reflect those of my employer, family, or cat. They think for themselves (though mostly about tuna, in at least one case), and so do I.

    Important note #2

    Since the overwhelming majority of content on this site is historical, it should be regarded in light of the context in which it was originally published, and not as indicative or revealing of current perspectives, preferences or experience.

    Important note #3

    While I work and spend a lot of time thinking and talking about social media, participatory technologies and community development strategies, the vast majority of content on this site is not about that.

    This personal site isn't about anything, except the perpetual unfolding of one person's experience, and the perspectives, observations and opinions that involves and inspires.

    You still here?

    Oh.
