Why mayonnaise breaks, and the immersion-blender method
- egg yolks
- salt
Start the blender at the bottom until the emulsion forms, then slowly pull the head up to draw in the rest of the oil.
- olive oil
- crumbled cotija cheese
- cilantro
- fresh lime
- ancho chili powder
Add the mayonnaise to a bowl with crumbled cotija and cilantro; whisk in some olive oil, a little fresh lime and a little ancho chili powder.
- corn
- 1 whole grilled lemon
Grill the shucked corn directly on the grate until charred, some deeply and some lighter.
Cut the kernels off the cob: cut down halfway, then hold the knife still and move the cob to finish.
