SAFFRON AIOLI
I feel aiolis make an excellent compliment to a number of different types of appetizers and entrees. This particular aioli is inspired by the Mediterranean coastal areas of Spain and France, and was a frequent compliment to many foods during my study abroad. I like it on everything from crabcakes, fish, and even sushi to chicken and finger foods. You can put the aioli in a pastry decorating bag to create appealing appetizers and tapas. This particular recipe calls for saffron threads and saffron powder. Saffron is easy to find in most place in the thread form, but the powder can be a little more difficult to locate. If you visit a hispanic market, you can typically purchase enough pouches of saffron powder to last you over time. I use Vigo brand. Also, please consider using Hellman's original mayonnaise when making this recipe - avoid using Kraft, Miracle Whip, and sweet mayonnaises at all costs. If you use a low fat mayo, I also recommend Hellman's. Another tip - when purchasing your saffron (and other spices in general), its often $6-10 US dollars cheaper if you buy it in the hispanic/ethnic section of your grocery store. For instance, Badia Saffron runs about $3 in my grocery store, but the same amount of McCormick Saffron can cost upwards of $10. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- Cover potatoes with water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; let cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Heat sherry in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until warm, 2 to 5 minutes. Add saffron, and stir until it has dissolved. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet in oven 5 minutes. Season fish with salt and pepper; set aside. Remove skillet from oven, and add fish, skin side down. Drizzle with the sherry mixture. Add sausage and shallots. Roast 10 minutes. Remove from oven; brush fish with pan juices. Add clams and mussels. Roast until fish is cooked through and clams and mussels have opened, about 10 minutes (discard any shellfish that remain closed). Transfer skillet to a wire rack. Drizzle with lemon juice. Let cool 15 minutes.
- Arrange tomato slices on a platter. Cut cooled potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds; arrange over tomatoes. Top with seafood mixture; reserve 2 tablespoons pan juices.
- Make the dressing: Whisk reserved pan juices, lemon juice, parsley, and basil in a medium bowl. Gradually add oil, whisking constantly until emulsified.
- Drizzle salad with dressing. Serve with saffron aioli and toasted baguette.

Steps:
- Place saffron in a small bowl with water; set aside.
- Use a mortar and pestle to mash garlic and a pinch of salt to a fine paste. Add mustard and incorporate. Add egg yolks and mix well. Add saffron-water mixture and stir to incorporate. Slowly add half the oil, drop by drop at first, and then in a slow steady stream, while mixing with the pestle. (Thin with about a tablespoon of warm water if mixture is too thick.) Continue incorporating oil until all of it is absorbed. Thin with additional water if needed, and season with salt to taste.

Steps:
- Put the saffron in a small bowl with 1 tbsp boiling water. Leave for 10 mins to cool and for the water to turn a golden colour.
- Meanwhile, put the egg yolks, garlic, mustard and lemon juice in a jug or a tall container with a pinch of salt and blitz with a stick blender (or in a food processor) until smooth. Slowly add the olive oil, a small drizzle at a time, keeping the blender on, until you get a thick, glossy mayonnaise. Season with black pepper, then stir in the saffron water to loosen the aïoli and turn it a golden hue. Cover the surface and chill until ready to serve. Add a splash of water or lemon juice, to serve, if your aïoli thickens up too much in the fridge.

GRILLED VEGETABLES SALAD WITH CRAB CAKES AND SAFFRON AIOLI
Steps:
- Saute the peppers and garlic in olive oil. Set aside to cool.
- In a big bowl, combine the crabmeat, 3 tablespoons of the mayonnaise, herbs, bread crumbs, and the cooled Sauteed mixture. Mix well. If it seems dry, add more mayonnaise. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Make balls from crab mix into 8 equal portions. Pat each into a disk. Chill again until ready to cook.
- Preheat grill for 20 minutes before you need to cook vegetables. Prep all the vegetables then toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper in separate bowls. Grill them over medium high heat until they are tender but not mushy, about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the heat of the grill. As they come off grill, toss them in a bit more olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Fry the crab cakes over medium high heat in olive oil until golden brown. Serve with the grilled vegetables and Saffron Aioli.
- Use garlic that is fresh and firm. If garlic has sprouted, split the cloves and remove green germ. In food processor, puree garlic until chopped fine. Season with salt and pepper and add the saffron and egg yolks. With motor running slowly, add the olive oil in a thin steady stream. When it is done, it should be like a thick mayonnaise. Add lemon juice and cayenne and taste for seasoning.
- Alternatively, you can make the aioli in a mortar and pestle, which is the traditional way.

Steps:
- Use a pot big enough to hold the salmon and add enough water to cover the fish. Add the white wine and heat the mixture until vapors rise from its surface, but not to a boil. Slip the fish into the liquid and cook until done. Salmon is done when there is the first sign of a white substance forming on the surface of the fish. Remove the fish from the liquid, and let cool to room temperature; then cover and refrigerate.
- To make the aioli, roast the garlic head in a 350-degree oven until soft- about 45 minutes. Squeeze the pulp from the roasted garlic into a food processor. Add mustard, egg and vinegar. With the motor running slowly, add the oil 1 drop at a time and then in a gentle stream once an emulsion has started. When the oil is used up, add the saffron infusion and season with salt and pepper. If the aioli is too thick, add more water.
- Dress the greens and onion in olive oil to coat, adding a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the fish on top of the greens on a platter and serve the aioli on the side. .

Steps:
- Use a mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment, and combine egg yolks, garlic, saffron, and a pinch of salt; whisk at high speed, while adding oil, drop by drop (this is important because otherwise mixture will not thicken properly).
- As the aioli begins to thicken you can increase the oil to a thin stream; adjust seasonings with a squeeze of lemon juice and/or more salt, if needed.
- In a paella pan with lid or large deep-sided skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat; add onion and saute until softened and golden, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, coarsely grate the tomatoes, cut side, until only the skins remain and discard skins; you should have about 2 cups of tomatoes.
- Stir the tomatoes, peppers, and bay leaves into the onions; season with paprika.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid evaporates, about 15 minutes.
- Add the stock, bring to a boil, then stir in the rice; reduce heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes, stirring to prevent the rice from sticking.
- Stir in the peas, squid, mussels or clams, and shrimp; turn heat to low and simmer until nearly all the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
- Cover with lid, remove from heat, and let rest 5 to 10 minutes; sprinkle with parsley and let cool.
- Serve with saffron aioli and lemon wedges.

POTATO CROQUETAS WITH SAFFRON AIOLI (SPAIN)
POSTED FOR ZAAR WORLD TOUR 5. Popular throughout Spain, tapas are appetizers. They can also form an entire meal and range from simple items such as olives and cheese to more elaborate preparations like garlic shrimp and little meatballs. Although it's not necessary to dine out when craving these bite-sized eats. Just gather some friends, and serve some of Spain's tastiest treats. Use tea saucers as plates, and encourage your guests to use toothpicks or their fingers when eating (as is the tradition in Spain). The saffron aioli here provides just the right taste, and a contrasting texture to the crispness of the croquetas. Feel free to play with the potato mixture...if so inclined, stuff some of the croquetas with cooked red pepper and onion. Serve these tasty potato croquetas with any combination of olives, nuts, cheese and fruits you desire. They are popular, so make extra. From Gourmet Magazine.

Steps:
- To make the aioli: In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the egg yolks, garlic clove, saffron and a pinch of salt. Whisk at high speed while adding the oil drop by drop.
