Ginger Aioli Food

AIOLI

Steps:

• Place garlic and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade, or in a blender. Pulse for 2 seconds. Add the egg yolk and lemon juice, and pulse on and off until blended. Turn on and begin adding the olive oil (pure first, then extra-virgin) in a thin stream. If it becomes too thick, thin it out with some room-temperature water and continue adding oil until you've used it all. Finish with pepper and (if necessary) a bit more salt.
• The reason for using 2/3 pure olive oil is to keep the flavor of the oil from becoming overpowering. This is a perfect example of how by using a fully-flavored extra virgin oil you can use much less, thereby saving money and getting better flavor.

AIOLI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat eggs well with a wire whisk. Stir in garlic. Gradually add oil in a thin stream, beating constantly until light and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in lemon juice. Refrigerate.

AïOLI

Steps:

• In a small bowl pour 1 tbsp of boiling water over the saffron and set aside. Put the garlic, egg yolks and mustard into a food processor or blender. Blitz into a paste and very slowly dribble in the olive oil to make a thick mayonnaise-style sauce. When everything's come together add the saffron, saffron water and lemon juice, then season to taste. The aïoli will keep covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.

GARLIC AIOLI

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

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.

LEMON GINGER AIOLI

Steps:

• 1. Place egg yolks, mustard, water, ginger, garlic, lime juice and hot sauce, if using, in a food processor or non-reactive stainless steel mixing bowl or a glass bowl. Pulse or whisk together until smooth. 2. Slowly add oil drop by drop into the bowl while continually whisk- ing or processing. The mixture should resemble mayonnaise. Add salt and pepper to taste. 3. The aioli can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Recipe published in JOY of KOSHER with Jamie Geller Magazine Summer 2013 SUBSCRIBE NOW

AIOLI

Steps:

• Place the garlic, egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard and water into the cup of an immersion blender. Pour the oil on top of the other ingredients and wait a few moments for the oil to separate from the ingredients beneath it. Gently nestle the blade of the immersion blender into the egg yolk at the bottom of the cup. Turn on the blender and blend until the mixture is fully emulsified, about 1 minute. Add salt to taste.

AIOLI

Steps:

• Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a chef's knife and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Finely chop the garlic, using the side of the knife to periodically mash it against the cutting board, until it becomes a smooth paste. (You can also do this in a mortar and pestle.)
• To make the aioli in a mini food processor, put the garlic paste in a mini food processor, add the lemon juice and egg yolks and pulse to combine. With the machine running, add the neutral oil a few drops at a time, making sure it incorporates into the yolks and the mixture emulsifies. Once all of the neutral oil is added, scrape down the sides of the work bowl and add the olive oil in the same manner. (If the machine seems like it is working too hard or straining while adding the oil, add the tablespoon of water at this point to loosen the mixture a bit; otherwise, add the tablespoon of water once all of the oil has been added.) Mix in the cayenne. The aioli should be thick, shiny and smooth, with a spreadable consistency similar to jarred mayonnaise. If you want a slightly thinner sauce, add 1 to 2 tablespoons additional water slowly, with the machine running, until you reach the desired consistency. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
• To make the aioli by hand, dampen a kitchen towel and roll up. Form the towel roll into a circle and anchor a bowl in the center. Whisk together the garlic paste, lemon juice and egg yolks in the bowl. Whisk the oils into the mixture as directed above, using one hand to add the oil drop by drop and the other to whisk constantly. Add the oil very slowly at first. Once the mixture has formed a thick emulsification, you can stream the oil in a little faster. If it gets too thick, add the water to loosen it up and continue. Mix in the cayenne.

GINGER-CURRY AïOLI

Steps:

• Mix ingredients in a small bowl. Cover; refirgerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

GINGER AIOLI

Steps:

• Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
• Chill at least an hour to blend flavors and thicken the aioli.
• NOTE: I've had good luck freezing fresh ginger knobs.
• They peel easily with a knife while still frozen, and grate easily with a microplane grater- just freeze small recipe size pieces individually (I put each piece in its own sandwich zip bag, then place all the bags inside a quart size freezer zip bag).
• The 60 minutes cooking time is for chilling.

SOY-SAKE SHRIMP WITH GINGER AIOLI

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, green onions, 4 tablespoons oil, vinegar, sake, brown sugar, curshed red pepper flakes, and garlic in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish; whisk marinade to blend.
• Add shrimp and toss to coat.
• Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour, turning shrimp occasionally.
• Blend mayonnaise and ginger in food processor until smooth.
• Transfer ginger aioli to small bowl and refrigerate.
• Drain marinade from shrimp into small saucepan; bring to boil.
• Whisk 2 tablespoons boiled marinade into ginger aioli; reserve remaining boiled marinade.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add shrimp; sauté until just opaque in center, about 4 minutes.
• Mound rice in center of plates.
• Arrange shrimp around rice; drizzle with ginger aioli.
• Serve, passing reserved boiled marinade.

SOY-GLAZED SALMON BURGER W/GINGER-LIME AIOLI

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
• To make the aioli, combine the first six ingredients (mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, minced ginger, freshly squeezed lime juice and salt) in a bowl and mix well. Reserve 2 tablespoons for the patties and cover and refrigerate the remainder until serving.
• To make the glaze, combine the soy sauce, honey and rice vinegar in a small, heavy fire-proof saucepan. Mix the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon white wine in a small bowl until smooth and add to the soy mixture. Place on the grill rack and stir the mixture until it boils and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
• To make the patties, combine the reserved 2 tablespoons aioli with the egg, sour cream, lime juice and chile sauce in a large bowl and whisk to blend well. Add the chopped salmon, onion, cilantro, bread crumbs and salt. Handle the salmon as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Coat your hands with vegetable oil and divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the buns.
• When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover and cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn the patties and brush the cooked side with soy glaze. Cook, turning and brushing frequently with the glaze, just until opaque throughout, 4 to 5 minutes longer. During the last few minutes of cooking, place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly.
• To assemble the burgers, top each bun bottom with an equal portion of the cucumber strips, a patty and an equal portion of the aioli. Add the bun tops and serve.
