Mayonnaise with Hard-Boiled Eggs

Mayonnaise with hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, and no oil. Mayonnaise is the most beloved sauce of all time. All sauces are the base of countless preparations and accompany many dishes; they can be cooked like béchamel, for example, or raw like mayonnaise. Mayonnaise and all sauces derived from it are part of raw emulsions. Today, however, I decided to prepare a faux mayonnaise using hard-boiled eggs, which is quite light as it does not use oil but rather Greek yogurt. Let’s say it could be a good alternative to the usual and delicious traditional mayonnaise, especially for those on a controlled diet.

in cucina con pina

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
