Line TM basket with a clean tea towel or muslin cloth then place TM basket into the centre of a large bowl. Place ricotta into TM basket and close tea towel or muslin over the top. Place a weight on top of the tea towel or muslin (e.g. bowl or jar) then transfer into the refrigerator for four hours to drain.
Soak saffron threads in freshly squeezed lemon juice for at least 20 minutes. Set aside.
Place garlic into mixing bowl and chop 3 sec/speed 7. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula.
Insert butterfly. Add reserved lemon saffron mix and all remaining ingredients, except the oil, and mix 20 sec/speed 4.
With blades rotating on speed 4 and measuring cupin place, gradually pour oil onto mixing bowl lid to emulsify. Add oil at a steady pace, slowly to start with and then faster as the mayonnaise starts to emulsify. This process should take 2-3 minutes.
Set aside in refrigerator while you make your polpettine.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line two baking trays with baking paper and set aside.
Place chicken into mixing bowl and mince 7 sec/speed 7.
Add reserved ricotta and all remaining ingredients, except the oil, and combine 1 min/speed 10.
Use two dessert spoons to scoop oval shaped polpettine of chicken mix.
Heat a large frying pan with olive oil over a medium heat. Place polpettine into the hot pan and brown on each side, then place onto prepared baking trays. Repeat until all mix is used.
Transfer polpettine into oven (180°C) and bake for six minutes, or until cooked through. Serve warm polpettine with saffron mayonnaise on the side.
