Red Cocktail

 
Every week I tell myself this week I will post very often as I have so muchrecipes waiting for me to post but then sitting and writting something here that is really hard, especially I am lazy and then I am not good at writting.
But I have so much recipes and pics for these dishes in a file in my computer i think I should post more often, otherwise what is the use in doing all the work taking the pictures etc.
As usual I was in fb and then saw Aparna adding a delicious Toddy Picture in a fb group we are in and I was like wow that looks good and she gave the link to her place and I saw how yummy it was and that inspired me to do the post.
As she was posting for Simone's event which I always wanted to join but I forget or something else happens etc...
So I ratteled in my maps and saw I haven't posted this one, and very excited I say to myself yeah I will do this in my blog and looks for the recipe in a hurry, but I don't find the recipe in none of my cocktail book, not that we have so many cocktail book we just have four.
But then you know when one looks something in a hurry one don't find it.
So I will post the recipe in the weekend as I know it was a easy drink to make and also know I made them from one of the books we have.

Garlic Mayonnaise

My eldest sister always says to me why I never post any of my easy, simple recipes. When I tell her I am having a chicken salade or a prawn salade for lunch or dinner, she is like why you don't post them they are so delicious ( Hans showed her how to make them when he was once in her place and they love it now ) and I always tell her actually these things are so easy that it is bit silly to post in my blog.
To which she replies it is not because you think it is easy to make that everybody think it is easy to make.
So I think from now on I am going to post atleast one super easy simple recipe in my blog once a month :-)
Like this Garlic Mayonnaise, it is so easy that you can make in a flash.
Just have to make Home made mayonnaise which take less that 5 minutes to make,  and if you don't like to use to make mayonaise at home as it use raw eggs, you can always use shop bought mayo for making this.
I use this mayo for spreading in pita breads with meat or chicken filling, and especciall make these garlic mayonaise when I do Fondue Bouguigninne at home.

You can double the recipe if you like, depends on for what you use them and for how many people you are making for.





I cup Home made Mayonnaise If you are using my recipe of making home made mayo then add the garlic into the bowl together with oil, eggs etc.. ( you can also use shop bought one too)
1 to 2 garlic cloves ( we like the taste of garlic here at home )
 Add the mayonaise in a bowl, then add the garlic puree , I use a garlic press so that it is very fine, you can grate the garlic fine or chop it very fine or make into a paste. Mix everything well and keep in the fridge.
The flavours are much better if you make this mayonaise if you make it few hours befroe you use it.
Now did I say that it is such a easy thing to make.
