Method

  1. Roughly chop the dill, then put in a blender with the oil and whizz for a couple of minutes. Pour into a fine sieve set over a bowl.
  2. To make the mayonnaise, whisk the egg yolks with the mustard for 2 minutes until the yolks are pale and thicker. Slowly stream in the bright green dill oil, while whisking to emulsify. If it starts to look shiny it’s about to split – adding a splash of cold water should bring it back together. There will be a little sediment in the bottom of the bowl of oil – you can either leave this out for a smooth, uniform finish or add it for extra flavour. Taste and season with salt and lemon juice/vinegar.
  3. Cook the 3 eggs for 6½ minutes in boiling water, then plunge into iced water to stop them cooking further. Peel and halve, then add to a platter with the crudités and a bowl of the dill mayonnaise for dipping.
