Aïoli

Ingredients

• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• Kosher salt
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• Pinch of saffron threads (optional)
• 1 cup olive oil
• Cayenne pepper

Steps

1. On a cutting board, use the flat of a chef's knife to crush the garlic with salt into a paste. Transfer the paste to a bowl with the yolks, lemon juice, and saffron and whisk until blended. Whisk in the olive oil slowly in a steady stream until a creamy sauce forms. Add more salt if needed and season with cayenne pepper.
