    Introduction

    This is a great summer dish that can be served as a side to grilled fish, seafood or any type of meat. You can part-boiled the new potatoes and make the sauces in advance, so you only need to barbecue the potatoes and you ready to serve.

    Method

    1. To make the saffron aioli, lightly toast the saffron threads in a dry frying pan to release their essential oils, lightly crush them in a pestle and mortar and soak them in 2 tablespoons of hot water for about 5 minutes. In a food processor, blend the egg yolks, mustard and crushed garlic until mixed for about 30 seconds. With the motor running at a fast speed, slowly pour the oils until you have a thick mayonnaise. Add in the saffron water and season to taste.
    2. To make the romesco sauce, heat gently in a small frying pan the cumin seeds and chilli flakes to release their oil, it takes about one minute. Pound the seeds and flakes in a pestle and mortar, until you obtain a fine powder. In a food processor or blender, add the roasted peppers, tomatoes, bread, garlic, almonds, hazelnuts, cumin and chilli powder, smoked paprika, the olive oil and sherry vinegar and blend lightly until you have a chunky paste with the consistency of a pesto. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Romesco sauce will taste better if you make it the day before for the flavours to blend.
    3. Place the new potatoes in a large sauce pan and cover with water. Add the olive oil, bay leaf, peppercorns and sea salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Once cooked, drain, drizzle with oil and cook on the BBQ for 4 minutes on each side.
    4. Serve the potatoes on a warm platter with a dollop of saffron aioli and a generous spoon of romesco sauce.
