BASIL MAYONNAISE

1 WHOLE LARGE EGG
1 OUNCE CLEANED BASIL LEAVES & SMALL STEMS FRESH
1+1/2 OUNCES WHITE WINE VINEGAR
1 TSP LEMON JUICE
1/4 TSP SALT-TO TASTE
1/8 TSP WHITE PEPPER
2 TABLESPOONS ROMANO CHEESE
6 OUNCES OLIVE OIL-POMACE
4 OUNCES CORN OIL
IN A FOOD PROCESSOR, PLACE ALL INGREDIENTS EXCEPT OIL AND BASIL.  TURN ON MACHINE.  SLOWLY ADD  ALL OF THE OIL, ALLOWING THE MACHINE TO BLEND EVERYTHING INTO A  MAYONNAISE.  WHILE THE MACHINE IS RUNNING, DROP THE BASIL LEAVES INTO THE MIX AND LET THE MACHINES RUN FOR A MINUTE OR TWO.  SCRAPE DOWN THE INSIDE WALLS OF THE MACHINE IF NEEDED WITH A RUBBER SPATULA AFTER THE MACHINE IS TURNED OFF.  COVER AND REFRIGERATE.  SHELF LIFE IS ABOUT TWO WEEKS WITH LITTLE EFFECT ON FLAVOR.  THE MIX WILL HAVE A LIGHT GREEN TINT TO IT.  EXCELLENT ON SANDWICHES, ANY AND ALL GRILLED FOODS,  CRAB CAKES, FRIED SHRIMP, FRIED MUSHROOMS, PASTA SALAD DRESSING, VEGGIES BURGERS, TURKEY BURGERS,  ROAST SIRLOIN, BAKED FISH, STEAMED FISH, STEAMED BROCCOLI, AND MUCH MORE.
IF YOUR MAYONNAISE SEPARATES ON YOU, START THE PROCESS OVER WITH A WHOLE EGG IN THE MACHINE FIRST AND TURNED ON, SLOWLY ADDING THE DRESSING BACK INTO THE EGG BASE WITH THE MACHINE DOING THE WORK. AN OUNCE OR TWO OF OIL WILL THICKEN IT IF YOU WISH.
