Saffron And Rosemary Fermented Garlic Recipes

GARLIC AND ROSEMARY OVEN FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F with a large rimmed baking pan inside.
• Put the olive oil, garlic and rosemary in a small saucepan and warm over medium heat until just starting to bubble. Turn off the heat and let steep 20 minutes. Discard the rosemary sprigs and garlic.
• While the oil is steeping, cut the potatoes into 1-inch-thick wedges. Put the potatoes in a large bowl and toss with the oil, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Carefully remove the baking pan from the oven and spread the potatoes on the hot pan in a single layer. Sprinkle with another pinch of salt and roast until the undersides are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Flip the potatoes and continue to cook until golden brown all over, 15 to 20 minutes more.
• Serve garnished with a rosemary sprig.

ROSEMARY GARLIC RUB

SAFFRON AND ROSEMARY FERMENTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Mix the salt and water together.
• Place all ingredients except water into a fermentation vessel.
• Top with brine to cover completely.

• Put the garlic in a fridge to slow the fermentation to almost a near halt.
• My last batch lasted 1 year.

SAFFRON ROAST GARLIC CAVATELLI WITH MARSALA BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• For the saffron roast garlic cavatelli: In a small saucepan bring to a boil the chicken stock and saffron until the stock has a deep yellow color (about three minutes), remove from heat. In a food processor, using the plastic blade, add the roasted garlic, ricotta cheese, flour, olive oil, salt, and baking powder and pulse one or two times. Then add one half the hot saffron stock and begin to process and continue to add hot stock until a dough is formed. (Note that it may not require half the stock.) When dough is ready, follow the instructions on the cavatelli maker box for processing pasta. Once cavatellis are made, poach in salted boiling water for two to three minutes. Cool pasta in cold water and drain and coat with a little olive oil.
• For the marsala brown butter: In a medium saute pan add whole butter, melt and cook until butter is browned. Add in garlic and shallots. Deglaze with marsala and season with basil, parsley, lemon juice, salt and cracked black pepper. Toss the brown butter with saffron roast garlic cavatelli, place in a serving bowl. Garnish top with shaved romano and serve.

GARLIC-SAFFRON SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak the bread in cold water for 1 minute and squeeze dry. Mash garlic and salt into a paste. Put it in a mortar with the bread and pound together with the saffron, or mix it all in a blender.
• Gradually whisk in the olive oil to make a thick sauce. Add the lemon juice, parsley and salt. Keep the sauce at room temperature.

GARLIC AND SAFFRON MAYONNAISE (ROUILLE)

Steps:

• 1. Finely chop the garlic. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the garlic and continue chopping and smashing it with the side of your knife to form a coarse paste. Transfer the paste to a medium mixing bowl.
• 2. Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, saffron and its soaking water, breadcrumbs, and a pinch of cayenne and black peppers. Whisk to combine the ingredients. Continue whisking constantly while drizzling the olive oil into the bowl in a slow, steady stream. When all of the oil is included, the mixture should have a consistency similar to that of mayonnaise. Serve the rouille or store it in the refrigerator, covered or jarred, for future use.
