Garlic Rouille - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 large garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 extra-large egg yolk, at room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 teaspoon saffron thread
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed
1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

Place the garlic and 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 it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
