French Rouille Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the stock:
• Add all ingredients into a large stockpot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain, reserving the stock, and cool in an ice water bath. Whatever is not used that day should be refrigerated for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to 3 months.
• For the bouillabaisse:
• In another large, wide and shallow pan, over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion and fennel, cook for 2 minutes. Deglaze with the Pernod, and add the tomatoes, fish stock, seaweed, hot Italian peppers, crushed red pepper and season with salt and pepper. Add the lobster meat and cook for 3 minutes, covering the pot with aluminum foil or lid. Then add the rest of the seafood and cook, covered for about 6 minutes until the clams and mussels have opened.
• For the rouille:
• In a food processor, combine the roasted red pepper, garlic, bread, egg yolk, Dijon, lemon juice and salt and pepper. While the food processor is still on, slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
• Serve the Bouillabaisse in bowls with the toasted bread and Rouille on the side.

Steps:

• Pour water over bread crumbs in a bowl. Mash garlic to a paste with sea salt and cayenne using a mortar and pestle. Add moistened bread crumbs and mash into garlic paste.
• Add oil in a slow stream, mashing and stirring vigorously with pestle until combined well.

Steps:

• Crush saffron, and place in a medium bowl. Pour 1/4 cup boiling water over; steep 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, chop garlic, and add a pinch of salt. Mash into a paste with a knife's flat side or a mortar and pestle.
• Add bread to saffron water; press to absorb.
• Add egg yolk; stir to combine. Gradually add 1/4 cup oil, drop by drop, stirring constantly, until smooth. Stir in remaining oil in a steady trickle.
• Stir in garlic, cayenne or chiles, and paprika, and season with salt.

Steps:

• Place the garlic and salt on a cutting board and mince together. Transfer the mixture to a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, saffron, and red pepper flakes. Process until smooth.
• With the machine running, pour the olive oil in a thin, steady stream through the feed tube to make a thick mayonnaise emulsion. Transfer the rouille to a serving bowl and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Lay bell peppers on their sides on racks of gas burners and turn flame on high. (Or put on rack of broiler pan about 2 inches from heat.) Roast, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer peppers to a bowl, then cover and let steam 20 minutes. Remove skin and seeds from peppers and tear flesh into large pieces.
• Mash garlic to a paste with salt using a mortar and pestle (or mince and mash with a large knife).
• Purée bell peppers, garlic paste, jalapeño, and bread crumbs in a food processor. With motor running, slowly add oil, then lemon juice and pepper, blending until very smooth (it will look like an orange-pink mayonnaise).

Steps:

• Put the egg yolks, mustard, and garlic in a food processor (or blender) and purée 30 seconds.
• With the machine still running, start to add the olive oil, drop by drop until it is thick and smooth. When it reaches this consistency, start to add the oil in a slow steady stream until gone.
• Dissolve the saffron threads in the warm white wine and add to the blender.
• Transfer to a bowl and taste. Stir in salt and lemon juice to season.
• Serve as an accompaniment to bouillabaisse or other fish soup. It may also be used as a dip.

Steps:

• Dissolve saffron in 1/2 cup boiling water. Pour water over bread and let stand 30 minutes, or until soft and mushy. Mash with fork, then cool completely.
• Place garlic cloves in bowl of food processor, and process until finely chopped. add tomato paste, lemon juice, and cayenne, and process until smooth.
• Add saffron-soaked bread to food processor and process 1 minute, or until no lumps remain.
• With motor running, add oil in slow, steady stream until mixture is emulsified into a mayonnaise-like sauce. Season with salt, fi desired.
• Chill 1 hour before using, and store in refrigerator up to 1 week.
