Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
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 t Dijon-style mustard
1 tb Lemon juice or cider vinegar
1 d 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."
