Chips with smoked cumin salt and aïoli

Serves 4

Cooking Time Prep time 25 mins, cook 5 mins



1   quantity cooked chips
150 ml   olive oil
50 ml   extra-virgin olive oil
2   egg yolks
½ tsp   Dijon mustard
1 tbsp   lemon juice
1   small garlic clove, finely chopped
Smoked cumin salt
2 tsp   cumin seeds
½ tsp   smoked paprika
1 tbsp   sea salt


1 For aïoli, combine olive oil and extra-virgin olive oil in a jug, set aside. Process yolks, mustard, lemon juice and garlic in a food processor until smooth. Add oils in a thin, steady stream, processing until smooth and emulsified (if mixture becomes too thick, thin with a small amount of hot water before adding extra oil). Season to taste and refrigerate until required.
2 Meanwhile, for smoked cumin salt, dry-roast cumin (1-2 minutes), then pound in a mortar and pestle until coarsely crushed. Stir in remaining ingredients and serve scattered over hot chips with aïoli to the side.

This recipe is from the August 2009 issue of Australian Gourmet Traveller.
