What each ingredient does
- Lobster coral
- Provides the red colour and a rich, briny flavour to the mayonnaise.
- Mayonnaise dressing
- Forms the creamy base that carries the coral colour and flavour evenly.
The step that matters
Sieving the coral to a fine powder. Any lumps or coarse bits left in the coral will not disperse into the emulsion, leaving specks and uneven colour in the mayonnaise. Passing it through a sieve gives a smooth powder that blends evenly.
