Parsley Aioli Food

PARSLEY AIOLI

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, and garlic. With the machine running, slowly pour the olive oil in a slow, steady stream through the feed tube. The mixture will emulsify into a mayonnaise. Add the herbs, and process to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the aioli to a small bowl, cover, and keep refrigerated.

LEMON AIOLI

Steps:

• Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, chives, garlic, dry mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix until smooth.

PARSLEY-AIOLI CROSTINI

Steps:

• Slice baguette crosswise 1/2 inch thick, and toast on a rimmed baking sheet in a 375 degree oven. Meanwhile, place egg yolks, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor. Add olive oil in a slow and steady stream, and pulse to emulsify. Add parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Pulse about 5 times to combine. Spread aioli onto toasted baguette slices.

ROLLED CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH ARUGULA AND PARSLEY AIOLI

Steps:

• For the Aioli: Place all the ingredients, except the salt and pepper, in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Transfer the aioli to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the Sandwich: Add the shredded chicken to the aioli and mix well. Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Using tongs, add the tortillas, 1 at a time, and cook until warm, about 30 seconds each side. Place the warm tortillas on a work surface and spread with the chicken mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle the arugula over the chicken mixture. Carefully roll up the tortillas, jelly-roll fashion. Cut each rolled sandwich in half, diagonally, and transfer to a serving platter. Serve.

PARSLEYED CELERY ROOT FRITTERS AND LEMON AïOLI

Steps:

• Mince garlic and in a bowl stir together aïoli ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. (Aïoli may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.)
• In a bowl whisk together batter ingredients and pepper to taste. With a sharp knife peel celery root and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• In a deep large heavy skillet (about 12 inches wide by 3 inches deep) heat 1 inch oil over moderately high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375° F. Working in batches of 3, coat celery root slices in batter, letting excess drip off, and immediately press a parsley sprig into batter on one side of each slice. Carefully drop coated slices, parsley sides up, into oil and fry, turning them once, until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Transfer fritters as fried with tongs to brown paper or paper towels to drain. Return oil to 375° F before next batch.
• Serve fritters immediately with aïoli.

GRAND GREEN AIOLI

Steps:

• Prepare the vegetables: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add edamame and boil until tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spider, transfer edamame to a bowl and cover to keep warm. Fill a bowl with ice water if using green beans, asparagus or snap peas. Add green beans and asparagus to the boiling water and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Cook snap peas, if using, for 1 minute, adding to the green beans and asparagus during the last minute of cooking. Drain and transfer vegetables to the ice water to cool, then drain again. Other vegetables should be served raw.
• Make the aioli: In the bowl of a food processor or blender, combine the egg yolks, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper and ¼ cup water. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and safflower oil until well blended. Add the parsley and purée until smooth. Transfer the aioli to a bowl. It can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
• Arrange the vegetables and lettuce leaves on a large serving platter. Serve with the edamame and aioli.
