Mediterranean Mayonnaise - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 egg yolks
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    1 teaspoon coarse salt
    1/2 cup canola oil
    1 1/4 cups canola oil
    1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
    2 tablespoons hot water
    2 teaspoons lemon juice
    1 teaspoon salt
    finely chopped rosemary (or basil)
Preparation
    Beat egg yolks on medium speed until slightly thickened.
    Add lemon juice, mustard, salt; beat one minute.
    Increase speed to medium-high, add 1/2 cup oil ONE TEASPOON AT A TIME (this is very important--or the mayonnaise will \"break\" ie., separate).
    SLOWLY pour in remaining oils in a steady stream, beating until incorporated (about 10 minutes).
    Fold in water, lemon juice and salt.
    Fold in rosemary or basil.
    Serve at room temp; refrigerate leftovers for up to a week.
    REPAIR TRICK: If the mayo does \"break\" salvage the mixture by whisking a single (not married!) egg yolk in another bowl, then beat mayo into it a little at a time.
