Aquafaba Mayonnaise

Ok, so this sounds like the weirdest thing ever and honestly- what the heck is an aquafaba?
Well it's what you make with the liquid left over from cooking chickpeas or the liquid that's in the tin with chickpeas when you open a can, and it's brilliant!
A light, great tasting and versatile mayonnaise that keeps really well & only takes a few minutes too make.
I simply strain off the liquor from a tin of chickpeas, or use half a cup of the cooking liquid if you made them yourself. Cold would be best, rather than warm.
Then in to a blender (or use a hand mixer) add:
~ A tbsp of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, or infused apple cider vinegar
~ salt, pepper, a good spoonful of wholegrain mustard
~ Any fresh herbs that you like
~ 1 tbsp honey

Blend for a few minutes until frothy, then slowly drizzle in about a 1/2- 1 cup of olive oil
Keep processing & adding the oil until you hear it thicken up.

That's it!
Pour in to a jar. Pop on the lid and you now have a delicious light mayonnaise.
