2 tablespoons minced shallots

3 egg yolks

1/4 cup hot water 1/2 lemon, juiced 1 pinch salt

Directions:

In a heavy skillet, sauté tarragon, red wine vinegar, and diced shallot over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mixture becomes paste-like. Remove from heat. Combine egg yolks, 1/8 cup hot water, lemon juice, salt and pepper in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Cook and stir until the mixture reaches the consistency of mayonnaise.
