Do you know what aquafaba is? It’s the liquid you get out of a can of chickpeas. The liquid you usually tip down the drain! This recipe is worth a shot, even for the sake of an experiment. Not only does it taste and look like "normal" mayonnaise, but because it doesn’t have raw egg, it’s a great option if you are pregnant or have food intolerances. Keep it in a sterilised jar in the fridge.

This recipe is also featured in Episode 97 of the podcast.

Recently we got into the kitchen for some experimenting, all about using aquafaba. It acts a lot like egg whites, so you are able to do all sorts of things with it that is hard to do without eggs. Our first experiment was to make an egg free mayonnaise in the Thermomix, using aquafaba. Wow. This is so quick and easy, you actually won’t believe it. The taste and consistency of the mayonnaise was just like standard mayonnaise. If you gave it to a friend without telling them, they would have no idea that it was actually egg free mayonnaise. It went well with coleslaw, however we did notice that it was a little more watery on the coleslaw after about 24 hours, in comparison with standard mayonnaise.
