Saffron Rouille

 

This almost mayo sauce is often based with crumbled white french bread, but ground almonds can work instead to thicken the sauce. Just use half of the amount of called for. This is best paired with the Bouillabaisse including using a bit of the broth from the recipe, but this would also be lovely to top on fish by itself.

Ingredients

  • 1 pinch saffron, crushed slightly
  • ¼ cup broth, ideally from bouillabaisse
  • ¾ cup french bread, crumbled without the crust, or half the amount of ground almonds
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, more or less to taste
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation Instructions

Crush the saffron and sprinkle into the hot broth to hydrate and bring out the flavors. Place the breadcrumbs or ground almonds in a blender. Add the garlic, roughly chopped. Pour in the saffron broth and red pepper flakes.

Turn on the blender. Scrape down and blend until everything is roughly combined. Add more broth if needed.

While taking care, open the lid of the blender and slowly drizzle in the olive oil while blending. This will thicken and emulsify the sauce into creaminess.

Serve alongside fish or bouillabaisse.
