This is the post from facebook which I posted yesterday - we had such a great time with these folks. And, this rouille was wonderful on the toasted bread rounds.
-----------
New friends treated us to a wonderful Paella dinner last evening – Gary & Guimi entertained us royally with a Shellfish/Chicken/Sausage/kitchen sink dish cooked in their gazebo while the rest of us relaxed with good wine and ‘hearty’ Bloody Marys. Finished the evening with a rum cake and port. Happy campers all! Our thanks to them for a wonderful evening – the first of many get togethers, I’m sure.
It should not surprise anyone that I came away with a recipe! Guimi makes the tastiest 'Butter' Rouille which we all were ‘slathering with abandonment’ (like that turn of phrase? ) on our bread rounds. A perfect match for the Paella!
Guimi’s Butter Rouille
Whisk together or combine in a processor:
3 cloves garlic
1/3 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 cup mayo
Ground pepper
1/3 tsp. saffron which has been soaked in 1 T. hot water
I’m going to tape this recipe to my Paella book so it’s always handy
--------------
Laura jumped on this one faster than any of us - she made it last night and enjoyed it, also. I'll probably do some today to go with my ribs.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
