Mixed Seafood Paella With Garlic Aioli Recipes

Steps:

• In a hot oven-proof skillet coated with olive oil, saute rice, shallots, sausage (if using),1 tablespoon garlic and 1 tablespoon ginger for 4 to 6 minutes. Season. Add tumeric and stir for 2 minutes. Add 6 cups stock and check for seasoning. Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until rice has fully absorbed the broth. Fluff with a fork, re-check seasoning.
• In a hot large saute pan coated with olive oil, saute garlic and ginger. Add mussels and clams and cook until they start opening. Deglaze with wine and add fish and remaining cup of stock. Add the snow peas 30 seconds before fish is cooked through.
• In a food processor, add yolks, chiles, and garlic and puree. Slowly drizzle in oil to emulsify. Add juice and season. Good in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• PLATING: Serve the seafood mixture over the rice in the skillet, drizzled with aioli.
• Wine Suggestion: Bandol Rose Domaine Tempier, 1998

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to the package directions.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the salmon, shrimp, sausage, tomatoes, beans, bell pepper, oregano, and saffron, set over medium-high heat, and bring to a simmer. Let simmer until the shrimp are bright pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked rice and cook for 2 minutes to heat through. Remove from the heat, stir in parsley, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.

Steps:

• To make the aioli: In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the egg yolks, garlic clove, saffron and a pinch of salt. Whisk at high speed while adding the oil drop by drop. As the mixture thickens, increase the oil to a very thin trickle until it is used up and the aioli is thick and wobbly. Adjust the seasoning with a squeeze of lemon juice and more salt, if needed.
• To make the paella: In a large deep-sided frying pan or paella pan with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and golden, about 15 minutes.
• Coarsely grate the tomatoes, cut side down, until only the skin remains. Discard the skins. There should be about 2 cups.
• Stir the tomatoes, peppers, bay leaves and paprika into the onion. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until no liquid remains, about 15 minutes. Add the stock, bring to a boil and pour in the rice. Stir and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring a few times to prevent sticking.
• Add the peas, squid, mussels or clams, and shrimp, incorporating everything into the rice. Simmer over low heat until nearly all the liquid has disappeared, about 10 minutes. Cover with a lid, remove from heat and rest for 5 to 10 minutes more. Scatter with parsley and cool. Serve with the saffron aioli and lemon wedges.
