Rouille

By norsegal8

Ingredients

• 4 large garlic cloves
• 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 large extra-large egg yolk, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup good olive oil (mild)

Preparation

Step 1

Place the garlic and the salt on a cutting board and mince together. Transfer the mixture to a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, saffron and red pepper flakes. Process until smooth.

With the machine running, pour the olive oil in a thin, steady stream through the feed tube to make a thick mayonnaise emulsion. Transfer the rouille to a serving bowl and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
