Instructions

  1. In a nonreactive saucepan, whisk together sugar, lemon juice, eggs, lemon zest, and salt.

  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.

  3. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, small bubbles appear, and it coats the back of a spoon, for a total cooking time of 10-12 minutes, without boiling.

  4. Slowly whisk in the olive oil, one tablespoon at a time, until fully incorporated and a clean line forms when testing the curd on a spoon.

  5. Strain the curd through a fine mesh strainer into a clean nonreactive bowl to remove solids.

  6. Cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use; the curd will thicken further as it chills.
