Patatas Bravas with Faux Aioli

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into cubes. Gently cook them in plenty of olive oil over low heat until tender. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with a little salt.
- 2
For the brava sauce, sauté the chopped onion with a pinch of salt in olive oil. Add the flour and cook for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat, add both paprikas, and stir well.
- 3
Dissolve the bouillon cube in the cup of water heated in the microwave, then add it to the pan. Mix well and blend until smooth. Return to the pan and cook for 10 minutes over very low heat. Adjust salt to taste if needed.
- 4
For the faux aioli, mash the half clove of garlic (germ removed) in a mortar. Add the mayonnaise and mix well. Thin the sauce with 2-3 tablespoons of milk.
- 5
When ready to serve, heat the pan with the oil used to cook the potatoes over high heat. Once the oil is very hot, add the potatoes in batches so the temperature stays high, and fry for a few minutes, shaking the pan so the potatoes are soft inside and crispy outside.
- 6
Serve immediately with both sauces on the side.
For my son.

Patatas bravas Patatas bravas
Patatas bravas--crispy potatoes served with a spicy, paprika-forward tomato sauce--are standard fare at any tapas restaurant. As simple as they are to make (and they really, really are simple), there's a lot of variation in the method. The recipe below includes my personal preferences. I use mini creamer potatoes, first because I like the texture, and second because they're easier to prep (i.e. just cut 'em in half). Next, I shallow fry my patatas. Again, this is for simplicity. I see no reason to pull out the deep fryer just to crisp up a few potatoes. Lastly, I like to mix a little mayo into the bravas sauce. I find it rounds out the flavour. Of course you can omit this step, or serve the mayo separately (or better yet, make homemade spicy aioli). However you make them, patatas bravas make for a delicious starter to a meal.

Crispy Parm Brussels Sprouts with Roasted Garlic Aioli Crispy Parm Brussels Sprouts with Roasted Garlic Aioli
These can be served hors d'oeuvres on cocktail skewers, a side dish or, how I enjoy them, an entire meal. As a child, I hated brussels sprouts. My aunt, who was helping raise us after mom died, boiled them and served. It's a wonder I gave them another try as an adult when I discovered good ways to cook them. And this is one of those good ways. They're now one of my favorite vegetables. Maggie Conlon -

Fast, Delicious Aioli Fast, Delicious Aioli
If you take an egg yolk, some crushed garlic and maybe 1 cup of olive oil, drizzle the oil very slowly while stirring for maybe 20 - 30 minutes, you'll get Mayonnaise, which is the same as.... Aioli.And if you take some (good quality) Mayonnaise add some ingredient to it, you'll have a very fast Aioli, done in a couple of minutes!_____Aioli goes very well with everything, but I think it's best with grilled fish or chicken (Rotisserie chicken too!). But it is also delicious with just crusty bread or even vegetables (grilled, steamed or raw). Put some on a piece of toasted bread and let it float in a bowl of soup (especially fish or seafood soup but any soup will do) and see what happens.......This recipe is for super fast Aioli. It's up to you to add the herbs (Parsley, Basil, Dill) that you like or spices (Cayenne, Sriracha, etc). The result is always good, so go ahead and experiment!!______PS: Don't use less than 1/2 cup of Mayo.....you will kick yourself for not making more! PaulN -

Rich Butter Beans with Greens, Toasted Bread, and Aioli Rich Butter Beans with Greens, Toasted Bread, and Aioli
Learned this recipe from Carla at Bon Appetit. It takes a while and uses way more salt than you think it should, but in the end it's a perfect labor of love and is deeply satisfying. I use whatever fat is on hand in my fridge. For this I used beef tallow, leftover bacon grease and duck fat, but you can use whatever you have/can find and make the rest up with olive oil. The charred lemon is legit/assertive and if you dont want that flavor, leave it out Lance Wilson -
