Tomato sauce: 4 ways to stretch this staple
From curry and stews, to soup and pasta
4 creative uses for mayonnaise
Not just for tuna sandwiches, this versatile condiment adds gloss and creaminess to pies, potatoes and protein
1
Grilled cheese
Brush the outside of a cheese sandwich with mayonnaise before grilling. It stops it sticking and gives a perfect golden crunch.
2
Glaze
Lightly brush pastry, pies or bread with mayonnaise before baking to get a glossy egg-wash style finish.
3
Potatoes
Stir a tablespoon or two of mayonnaise through mashed potato; the egg and oil make the potatoes smoother and more creamy. This trick works for scrambled eggs too!
4
Dress it up
Add chopped fresh herbs, a squeeze of lime juice, crushed garlic, a pinch of curry powder or dash of chilli sauce to upsell ready-made mayonnaise as a premium garnish.
