- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

- Bring 1/2 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan and add the mushrooms.
- Remove from the heat and set aside to steep for 10 minutes to reconstitute.
- Place the egg, yolk, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor.
- Lift the mushrooms out of the water and gently squeeze out as much water as possible over the sink.
- Set aside the mushroom water left in the pan.
- Roughly chop the mushrooms and add to the food processor.
- Puree the mixture and, with the machine running, slowly add the blended oils in a thin, steady stream to make an emulsion.
