Saffron Aioli
Since this aioli will keep in the fridge for several days, it is good to have around when you plan on eating fried food. I also like it with very simply poached meats, especially any breast from an upland game bird: turkey, pheasant, partridge, etc. It also works well with chicken or any white fish.

Ingredients
- 1 or 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 or 2 egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice or white wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- Large pinch of saffron threads
- 3/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Crumble the saffron threads into the hot water in a small bowl. Let them steep 10 minutes.
- In the bowl of a blender, briefly buzz the garlic, lemon juice, salt and egg yolks to combine. Add the saffron and the water and buzz until smooth.
- With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until the whole thing emulsifies into a mayonnaise-like consistency. Taste for salt and acid, adding a little lemon juice and salt if needed.
- Serve the aioli cold. It should last in the fridge for several days.
