Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 7 minutes

Equipments:

  • pan

Ingredients:

  • mayonnaise

Instructions:

  • Fill pan three-quarters full with water and bring to a simmer. Do not boil.
  • Spoon the mayonnaise into a heatproof bowl and position it on top of the simmering water.
  • Gently warm the mayo through, stirring all the while.
  • When it is as warm as you want it – spoon the now sauce onto the food.

Notes:

  • Gently warming mayo like this makes it runny. The rich, fluffy texture will give way to a smooth, velvety sauce. The taste will still be that of mayo.
But if you want to spruce it up a bit, please feel free to add a little citrus juice, curry powder, or garlic, or whatever other flavor enhancer takes your fancy.
