Ingredients

Instructions

1. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add 2 tbsp (35 ml) olive oil.
2. After a couple of minutes, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Stir, then stir every 2 to 3 minutes so they cook evenly.
3. When the onions are lightly caramelized, after about 15 to 20 minutes, add the chopped garlic, stir for 30 seconds, then turn off the heat.
4. In a large bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder. Make a well in the middle, crack in the egg and whisk it, then add the beer and whisk until you have a creamy batter.
5. Add the sautéed onions, paprika, cumin and chopped chives to the batter. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
6. Heat the same pan over medium heat and add 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil.
7. After a couple of minutes, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil in a single evenly spaced layer, cooking in batches. Fry for 3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy, then move to a dish lined with paper towels.
8. For the aioli, pound the chopped garlic, saffron and a pinch of salt in a mortar with a pestle to a paste. Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice and olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and whisk.
9. Put the aioli in a serving dish, arrange the fritters around it, and garnish with chopped chives.
