Place the egg yolk in a quart sized bowl. Place oil in a pyrex measuring cup. SLOWLY drizzle in the oil, drop by drop at the beginning, whisking steadily with a balloon whisk. Do not rush this step! The mayonnaise will look creamy and starting to become thick. Whisk while pouring in the oil in a thin stream until emulsified.
Take half the mayonnaise and add it to a small food processor. Add remaining ingredients (lemon rind through sea salt.) Pulse until all the ingredients are well chopped. Place the mixture with the rest of the mayonnaise into a small glass bowl, mix well and refrigerate. Keeps for 2 weeks.

Place on heat and cook at low heat until just turning golden.Turn over the cloves and cook on the second side until golden and and softened. Remove from the heat. Use when cool, or store in the refrigerator in a clean glass jar. Will last for one week. Chop and measure 1T. for this recipe.
Notes
* With concerns about gmo’s and processing of oils, use a vegetable oil which has not been chemically treated, this is called “expeller pressed.” (Such as safflower oil.)An EASY Substitute: Yes, you can use store bought mayonnaise (not the same) but acceptable. I do not use mayonnaise with "natural flavorings"... check labels. This recipe may not be reproduced without the consent of its author, Karen Sheer.
