How do make saffron aoli?  I love saffron!

Mince a large clove of garlic and put it in 1/8 ounce red or white wine vinegar in a small pan

add a pinch of salt and 8-10 strands of saffron; heat the mixture to just a boil and remove from heat; let it steep until room temperature

add enough honey to create a sweet and sour flavor you like

add and whisk mayonnaise until reaches thick pouring stage

refrigerate for an hour or two

Those crab cakes look spot on.

Thank you. Original recipe was from Frank Stitts Southern Table. I played with it a little. The key is to use the minimum amount of panko for it to hold together.

Ok so a partial forage and homemade meal tonight. My Betterhalf made homemade pasta. The forage part was her collecting dandelion leaves yesterday that she soaked. Then cooked the dandelion leaves with garlic and pine nuts then served on the pasta and topped with parmesan. Was tasty. Just slightly bitter at times.

Interesting! We’re having a bumper crop of dandelions. Maybe need to do a little lawn to table here!

             Another thing to try Ness,

   Dandelion blossoms. Batter them up and fry them. I call it poor mans morels. Tasty      Got some poke coming up. Never tried it but think I will this season.

Marty get that pokeweed early. I've heard that they get toxic as they grow. Never had fried blossoms. Have had a couple of dandelion salads in the past. Again it can be an acquired taste.

            Yes I know about when to harvest poke. They are just starting up. Less than six inches tall. I may not like it but I may be surprised. My eyes have been opened to many things!

Poke greens can be very good, young leaves are better, if bigger split out the center part and boil, then dump water and boil again in salted water.  Toss them.in a killer with bacon and a little vinegar for a few minutes.  I know people who eat the stalks too but I will pass on those.

There is a reason your grandmother cooked poke and collards in bacon.

Dandelion, like some other bitter greens, can be a great addition to salads. Who has had dandelion wine?

Last night's bucatini with clam sauce.
