You will love this creamy zingy mayonnaise, dairy free and egg free it’s made with Chickpea water. It’s simple to whizz together. There are a couple of videos to get you on your way.
Chickpeas are one of the foods I completely love. They are something I can use in almost every area of my cooking, and that includes desserts too!.
I’ve made chocolate cakes, meringues, hummus and plenty of this amazing Mayonnaise with them.
Chickpea water is a great substitute for eggs as it whips up into a frothy meringue like mix when beaten. That’s how this mayonnaise works.
These little gems are the perfect food for everyone but most especially if you would like to eat vegan food. They not only contain a great deal of roughage but they are proven to have an advantageous effect on your gut flora.
Eat the peas and use the water to make all kinds of things including this fabulous mayonnaise. That means you can make a salad out of the peas and mayonnaise out of the water. Works so well together! I love this because it can save not only waste, by allowing you to make your own mayonnaise in minutes with just the cost of a cup of oil, it’s awesome.
You will not believe just how easy it is. You can flavour it in any way you like. Try the basic recipe first get it right then go back and experiment with flavours. Try using a flavoured oil maybe a bit of chilli oil or curry, saffron, tomato paste, wasabi or cumin. I added a small avocado to it once it was made. I added the avocado and blitzed again with the stick blender. A drop of extra lemon juice gave it zing and then I had an avocado puree that doesn’t go brown! I can use it as a mayonnaise or as a dip with chips or just slather it onto a taco. The possibilities are endless. It also keeps much longer than traditional mayonnaise because there are no eggs.
This is the best. I know you are going to love it.
Here are the videos. Watch and be amazed.
How to make Mayonnaise with Chickpea Water
**This video has sound.
Ingredients | Unit: |
- 80 ml chickpea water 4 Tablespoons
- 10 gm dijon mustard 1 large teaspoon
- 20 ml lemon Juice 1 tablespoon or more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or a small pinch, to taste for granulated salt
- 250 ml oil Rice bran or vegetable or nut oil (1 Aust cup)
Instructions
- Put the water, dijon, salt and lemon juice in to the jug.
- Follow this with the oil. Put the immersion blender to the bottom of the jug and turn it on
- As the liquid thickens and turns white lift the blender to incorporate all of the oil and blend till white and thick. This will take approximately 1/2 a minute.
Recipe Notes
Follow the directions and wait for the oil to rise to the top before blending with a stick blender. If you do this it will be perfect every time
To make aioli add 2 cloves of garlic letting it sink to the bottom. It will be pureed up with the chickpea water. Add extra salt and lemon juice to bring up the flavour.
How to make Chickpea Mayonnaise video appeared first on My Kitchen Stories. An original recipe.
I have made this mayo, using your recipe this time, it was a HUGE success and friends and family are asking for it!! We are developing a vegan yoghurt and creamery company in South Africa called Ve-licious Plant Foods. Please can I share your recipe with my clients? Bless u Vee xxx
Hi Vee, its great to hear from you. you can of course share my recipe by linking me in too when you post to your clients. Good luck with your new business!
This is amazing, thanks for sharing and the video! As a fairly new vegan household I’m always on the lookout for new additions to our food repertoire, and I think this will be become a firm favourite x
Thanks Pippa. good luck with the new recipe collecting
Wow and another wow. I will never have to buy mayo again. This is the first mayonnaise recipe I have found the is both easy and taste great.
Thanks David. remember you have to always put the immersion plunger in and work from the bottom
I only saw this today; in our house you will always find a bowl of cooked white chickpeas, which I normally use for salads etc. But now…..I will have to go through all your suggestions. Thank you for that. Oh and btw – I do love this Blog 🙂
Hi Carina. Firstly thanks for letting me know you read and you like my blog. I am very pleased that someone is reading!. I love chickpeas too!
To an earlier commenter…yes, this works with chick pea liquid created “from scratch” — I used the liquid I reserved from boiling a batch of chick peas for hummus earlier today and everything went nice and white and creamy. Too good to be true! But it is!
Pick me up off the floor now. I am going to have to try this. Part of me is in denial the other in awe.
How interesting! I will definitely try this even though I am not vegan. In fact, I might try it for an aioli.
It makes a great Aioli Victoria and it keeps for weeks
This is brilliant!
Love the clip. Can’t wait to see what other chickpea treasures are coming out of your kitchen.
Thanks for joining in with our Fabulous Foodie Friday fun.
Have a gorgeous weekend xx

That’s such a fabulous idea for anyone unable to have eggs! I bet it would taste good with a little chipotle paste.
Gotta give it a go next time! Will it work with the water used to cook dry chickpeas (not the soaking water)?

I don’t know Angie. I hear that it may work but I can’t tell you for sure
Mayo with chickpea water is on my to do list. I can’t believe I’d been pouring all my chickpea water down the drain until now!

Congrats on getting on with your book. I’ll look forward to downloading a copy when it’s done. I have heard about the wonders of chickpea water being a good substitute for eggs. It certainly looks like it makes a wonderful mayonnaise xx

Wowee that really is magic! Do you think it would work the same way with the water from chickpeas that you’ve soaked yourself from dry?

Good question. I don’t think so.
It works, but you have to add 1 tea spoon of vinegar for each 3/4 cups of chickpea water.
Oh wow thanks but I don’t agree. I have made this hundreds of times . All you need to remember is it works with a plunge blender. start at the bottom of the bowl/ jug and pull upwards. Perfect every time vinegar or not. Do use lemon juice or vinegar in the mix though to make it taste great!
Heavens, I’m only just coming to terms with chick pea water meringue and now you tell me I can make mayo with it? Wow!

LoL!
This is really, really clever! I’ve seen all the mousse recipes with chickpea water but never mayonnaise.

My friend told me about this after I did the chickpea water meringues! Such an interesting concept and it is so versatile too! 😀

Have only just cottoned onto the chickpea water craze. A friend made vegan brownies replacing the egg with chickpea water. So amazing you can make mayo with it too!
