Spanish Garlic Sauce Food

SPANISH GARLIC SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a board peel and mince the garlic. Then put it in a bowl or the container of a stand mixer, add 2 egg yolks, a dash of salt (around 1/2 tsp.), and a dash of oil.
• With a hand mixer (you can also use a stand mixer or a food processor), blend everything and at the same time pour in a thin stream of oil. You'll see that it thickens as you add more oil, which means that the emulsion is happening.
• For the next step add the lemon juice and continue to blend until it is fully incorporated. You can continue to add in more oil if you think it's necessary.
• The aioli is ready when it reaches a mayonnaise-like consistency. At that point stop blending the aioli.
• Finally, taste it and add in more garlic, lemon juice, and salt if necessary.

SPANISH ALIOLI GARLIC MAYONNAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Peel and mince the garlic.
• Using the flat side of a large knife, crush the garlic.
• Place the crushed garlic into a small mortar and pestle, add the salt, and smash into a paste. (An alternative to save time is to use a good garlic press that peels and mashes the garlic in one step. Either way, you can use a mortar and pestle to mash the garlic into a paste.)
• Crack the eggs and separate the yolks into a small mixing bowl.
• Transfer the garlic paste to the bowl and whisk to blend.
• With a hand mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the olive oil in a very thin, steady stream until a creamy sauce begins to form.
• Add the touch of lemon juice slowly at the end, while keeping the mixer on to ensure that the sauce stays smooth.
• Serve with fish, as a condiment for your favorite sandwich, or as a dipping sauce for French fries. Enjoy.

SPANISH MUSHROOMS IN GARLIC SAUCE (TAPAS)

Steps:

• Trim off any tough ends of the mushroom stems. Wipe the mushrooms clean with dampened paper towels. If the mushrooms are large, halve or quarter them. Set aside.
• In a medium-sized heavy skillet or fire proof casserole heat 2 Tablespoons of the oil over medium high heat. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring, until barely golden; do not let it brown. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and stir in the flour until smooth. Return to the heat and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually stir in the broth. Add the chili pepper, 1 Tablespoon of the parsley, the lemon juice, and salt and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thick and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• In a medium sized, heavy skillet heat the remaining 1 Tablespoon oil over high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté, stirring frequently, until they are lightly browned. Add the mushrooms to the sauce and simmer 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Transfer to a heated serving bowl. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 Tablespoon parsley and serve at once as a tapa. Makes 4 servings.
