Ingredients:





   1/3 c  Vegetable oil


     1    Egg


     4    To 7 garlic cloves; to taste


   1/2 c  Spicy Globe or lemon basil


          -- tightly packed


   1/4 ts Dry mustard or


     1 ts Dijon-style mustard


     1 tb Lemon juice or cider vinegar


     1 ds Sugar


          Salt and pepper; to taste


   2/3 c  Olive oil






 Put all ingredients except the olive oil in a blender or food processor


 fitted with a steel blade.  Puree for 1 minute, then slowly add the olive


 oil with the machine still running. Stop as soon as all the olive oil has


 been added and the oil has emulsified.  Do not overblend. A tablespoon of


 hot water blended into the finished mayonnaise will stabilize it.


 


 "The Herb Companion" writes: "Try this spread with meats, grilled chicken,


 and vegetables, on sandwiches, and in salads."
