Seafood Boil Grilled Rosemary Bread With Olive Oils From Spain

ITALIAN SEAFOOD BOIL

Steps:

• Wrap the bay leaf, rosemary, and fennel seeds in a cheesecloth bag. Set the sachet aside. Heat the oil in a very large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped fennel and shallots and saute until the fennel is tender, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes with their juices, the wine and fish broth. Stir in the tomato paste. Add the sachet. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the flavors blend, about 10 minutes.
• Add the clams to the cooking liquid. Cover and cook until the clams open, about 6-8 minutes (discard any clams that do not open). Using tongs, transfer the clams to a bowl. Repeat with the mussels. Add the potatoes to the cooking liquid and simmer until they are almost tender, about 10 minutes. Add the fish, shrimp, and corn. Simmer until the fish and shrimp are just cooked through, and the corn is heated through, about 5 minutes. Return the clams and mussels to the soup. Stir in the parsley. Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with the Garlic Toasts with Red Pepper Aioli.
• Aioli:
• To make the garlic bread: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Drizzle the oil over the bread slices. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until the bread is crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Immediately rub the garlic cloves over the hot toasts.
• To make the aioli: Finely chop the garlic in the food processor. Add the peppers and blend until almost smooth. Blend in the mayonnaise. With the machine running, blend in the oil. Season the aioli, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer the aioli to a small bowl. (The aioli can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Spread the aioli over the toasts and serve.

SEAFOOD BOIL & GRILLED ROSEMARY BREAD WITH OLIVE OILS FROM SPAIN

Steps:

• Instructions
• First, prepare the summer herb vinaigrette. Combine the shallot, garlic, fresh herbs, and red chili flakes in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until finely chopped. Add the red wine vinegar and season with sea salt and pepper. With the food processor running on low, pour in the Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Spain in a slow and steady stream until the oil is incorporated and the vinaigrette is smooth and beautiful. Chill in the fridge while you crack on with the seafood boil.
• Combine the potatoes, onions, and garlic in a very large stockpot. Pour in the wine and 4 cups of water, then add the Old Bay, sea salt, thyme, bay leaf, and sausage. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
• Add a layer of corn, then the lobsters, then the clams and mussels. Cover and cook until the lobsters have turned bright red and the clams have opened, about 15 minutes. When there are 5 minutes of cooking time remaining, add the shrimp to the top of the seafood mixture. Using a large colander, carefully drain the liquid from the pot, reserving the broth.
• While the seafood boil is cooking away, heat a grill (or grill pan) over medium heat. Brush both sides of the bread slices with Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Spain, then sprinkle over the rosemary, sea salt, and pepper. Grill until toasted with beautiful grill marks on each side, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the seafood, potatoes, and corn onto a large picnic table covered with newspaper (or the paper of your choice). Spoon over a few tablespoons of the summer herb vinaigrette, then drizzle over an extra hit of Olive Oil from Spain. Serve with remaining vinaigrette, lemons, the reserved broth, and that incredible grilled bread.
