SPICY CREOLE AIOLI

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl and stir until fully combined.
• Serve immediately, or for optimal flavor, allow the aioli to chill for a minimum of 1 hour to allow the flavors to set.

REAL AIOLI

Steps:

• Place garlic slices in a mortar with kosher salt. Mash with the pestle into a fine paste, 4 or 5 minutes. Mix in lemon juice. Add a teaspoon of olive oil; stir and mash until oil is incorporated. Add another teaspoon and mix in thoroughly. Continue incorporating olive oil, teaspoon by teaspoon, mashing and stirring until aioli thickens up. If the aioli gets thicker than you like, add a few drops of water.

BASIC CREOLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in celery, onion, green bell pepper, carrot, and garlic; cook and stir until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir tomatoes with their juice, water, chicken bouillon cubes, and bay leaves into the vegetable mixture.
• Stir in red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, saffron, oregano, basil, thyme, orange zest, clam juice, and white wine.
• Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the flavors have blended, at least 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
• Allow the sauce to cool completely.
• To store, pour into pint glass canning jars, cover with lids and rings, and place into freezer. Sauce can be frozen up to 3 months before using.

CREOLE AIOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take a piece of aluminum foil about 12 inches long and fold it in half. Place the garlic in the center, and drizzle with olive oil. Fold the foil around the cloves to form a sealed packet. Roast the packet until the cloves are soft and a deep brown color, about 20 minutes. Mash the cooked cloves to a smooth paste. (If you wish to make extra garlic paste, it can be stored in a jar, covered with oil and refrigerated, for about a week.)
• In a small mixing bowl, combine 1 teaspoon garlic paste with the remaining ingredients. Mix well. Store refrigerated.
