Directions:
Bring 2 quarts water to a
boil in a wide sauce pan. Wipe the
kombu seaweed w/ a damp cloth.
Rinse the tofu. When the
water boils, turn off the heat and gently lower in the kombu and tofu. Cover and let poach for 10 mins. You can use this water to begin a great
broth. Or if you are already
making a Summer Garden Broth poach your tofu and kombu in the flavor mix.
Using a slotted spoon or
spider, transfer the tofu and kombu to the Vitamix. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend to a smooth
texture. Store in the fridge. This piquant and rather bitter rouille
is a great garnish to any and all rich foods. Try it on Avanti Garden Gazpacho. It pairs well w/ the fresh garden vegetable flavors of Avanti Summer Gardener's Salsa too.
You may wonder why there's gin in this sauce. The aromatic, bitter & unctuous flavor of gin pairs well w/ the matcha and full bodied Meyer Lemon botanical flavors. This aoli is not for everyone. Foodies tantalized by exciting tongue tinglers will adore it!
NOTE: Add 2 cups of the poaching liquid to
the blender jar and whiz to clean out the sides. Combine that w/ the remaining poaching liquid, and you have
a flavorful light broth to use for making miso soup, or as a flavoring for
cooking rice, beans or grains.
