Wild garlic aioli without egg
March 20th, 2018 | starter
I bought the first bunch of wild garlic on the market. You might think it’s finally spring! In our garden, the wild garlic, however, has only dared one to two centimeters to the frosty air. No matter, now begins the delicious wild garlic time, which then merges seamlessly into the culinary at least as great asparagus time. Under the motto “It does not get any greener”, I stirred up a wild garlic aioli for you as a prelude.
The inspiration for this aioli I got during our last visit to La Palma/Canary Islands. There, the owner of the restaurant Enriclai offered a very fine rocket aioli “without egg”, as she always emphasized. After some fiddling, the quantities are right and the aioli is really a blast – as a sauce for the first BBQ of the year or as a small starter plate: brush toasted bread with aioli, a few olives and cheese cubes – done.
You can vary the spicyness of the aioli depending on your taste. With about 10 g wild garlic you get a rather mild cream. With 20 g of it, the whole thing has a fine spiciness that you would not necessarily expect from the wild garlic. By the way, you can prepare the aioli also with rocket salad and a bit of garlic.
Note: the aioli seems to be a bit liquid at the beginning, but the consistency changes after a short while, it gets more creamy.

Swabian potato salad on Valentine’s Day
No typical food on Valentine’s Day? Maybe not. But if your love is about 9,000 kilometers away since six weeks. And if he is still on duty for four more weeks… Valentine’s Day will be canceled anyway… So there is a pragmatic meal for the children and me: Swabian potato salad – with sausages or meatballs – or as we had it today with Skrei.

Softshell Crabs were the recommendation of the very friendly waiter in the Trattoria Antiche Carampane, crabs who are changing their shells. I had read that these crabs, called Moeche in Venetian dialect, existed in Venice. It is rather rare that we have never tasted a special food. This was a first. And a successful one!
