I had always been drawn to the rich flavors and vibrant colors of Middle Eastern cuisine, and I was eager to learn more about the local dishes.

One day, as I was exploring the bustling markets of Amman, I stumbled upon a small street food stall run by a friendly Jordanian woman. She was grilling kebabs over an open flame and serving them with a side of homemade mayonnaise. Intrigued by the creamy and flavorful condiment, I struck up a conversation with the woman and asked her about the secret to her delicious mayonnaise.

To my surprise, she graciously offered to share her recipe with me. She explained that the key to the unique flavor of her mayonnaise was the use of high-quality Jordanian olive oil. She showed me how to slowly drizzle the olive oil into a mixture of egg yolks, lemon juice, and mustard, while whisking constantly to create a thick and creamy emulsion.

As I watched her expertly prepare the mayonnaise, I couldn't help but marvel at the simplicity of the ingredients and the skill required to achieve the perfect texture. The woman smiled as she handed me a small jar of the finished mayonnaise, urging me to try it with my own cooking.

Back home in my own kitchen, I eagerly set out to recreate the Jordan Olive Oil Mayonnaise. I sourced a bottle of high-quality Jordanian olive oil and gathered the rest of the ingredients. I carefully followed the woman's instructions, drizzling the olive oil into the egg yolk mixture and whisking with determination.

After what felt like an eternity of whisking, the mixture finally began to thicken and emulsify. I could hardly contain my excitement as I tasted the finished mayonnaise – it was rich, creamy, and bursting with the flavors of the Middle East. I couldn't wait to share it with my family and friends.
