'BOUILLABAISSE' OF FRESH PEAS WITH POACHED EGGS

Time 45m

Yield Serves four to five

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 pound fingerling potatoes or Yukon golds, scrubbed and sliced
4 large garlic cloves, minced
4 cups freshly shelled peas (about 4 1/2 pounds)
Generous pinch of saffron
1 1/2 quarts water or chicken stock
Salt
freshly ground pepper
4 to 5 eggs
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or a mixture of parsley, tarragon and chives
4 to 5 thick slices country bread, toasted and rubbed with a cut clove of garlic

Steps:

  • In a heavy soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes, and add the potatoes and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the garlic begins to smell fragrant, about one minute. Add the water, saffron and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add the peas, cover and simmer another 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the broth is sweet. Taste, adjust salt and add pepper.
  • One by one, break each egg into a teacup, then tip into the soup. Poach the eggs for four minutes until just set. Place a crouton in each bowl and, using a skimmer or a slotted spoon, scoop out a poached egg and place it on top. Stir the herbs into the soup, then ladle the soup into the bowls and serve.

BOUILLABAISSE OF PEAS



Bouillabaisse of Peas image

Originally introduced in our pages as "an ancient Provençal way of dressing up little green peas," this soup may not qualify as a true bouillabaisse (there is no seafood in sight), but it is comfort in a bowl. And since it uses frozen rather than fresh peas, it can be made at any time of year.

Time 55m

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (4-inch) piece celery
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
3 fresh thyme sprigs
2 fresh parsley sprigs
8 black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon slightly crushed fennel seeds
1 qt water
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 (1-inch-thick) slices baguette
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 lb medium boiling potatoes
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (10-oz) package frozen baby peas (not thawed)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 large eggs
an 8-inch square of cheesecloth; kitchen string

Steps:

  • Wrap bouquet garni ingredients in cheesecloth and tie with kitchen string.
  • Bring water and bouquet garni to a boil in a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook bread slices, turning over once, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer bread to 6 soup bowls. Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil to skillet and cook onion over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Peel potatoes, then cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Add potatoes to onion and cook, turning occasionally, until onion is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, peas, salt, pepper, and hot water with bouquet garni and simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, about 7 minutes. Discard bouquet garni.
  • Break eggs into simmering soup and poach, uncovered, spooning broth over eggs occasionally, until softly set, about 6 minutes. Transfer eggs with a slotted spoon to toasts and divide soup among soup bowls.

BOUILLABAISSE

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped jarred roasted red peppers, drained and patted dry
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
Kosher salt
4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 pound large shell-on shrimp
1 pound mussels
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 8-ounce bottles clam juice
1 wide strip orange zest
1 bulb fennel, quartered, cored and thinly sliced
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Kosher salt
Small pinch of saffron threads
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 pounds firm white fish (such as cod, monkfish or black sea bass), cut into 3-inch pieces
Freshly ground pepper
1 baguette, sliced and toasted
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Make the rouille: Puree the mayonnaise, roasted red peppers, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and a pinch of salt in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Prepare the bouillabaisse: Grate the tomato flesh on the large holes of a box grater down to the skins; reserve the skins separately. Peel and devein the shrimp, reserving the shells and tails for the broth; clean and debeard the mussels. Refrigerate the seafood until ready to use.
  • Make the broth: Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp shells and tails and cook, stirring, until bright red, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Add the clam juice, 4 cups water, the reserved tomato skins, the orange zest and 1/4 cup of the sliced fennel. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium; simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 4 cups, 12 to 15 minutes. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract the liquid; reserve the broth.
  • Wipe out the pot and heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the remaining fennel, the shallot, garlic and a pinch of salt; partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fennel begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the reserved grated tomato flesh and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the saffron, then add the wine and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about two-thirds, about 4 minutes. Add the reserved broth and return to a simmer.
  • Add the mussels to the pot; cover and cook 4 minutes. Add any thick pieces of fish and cook, covered, 2 minutes. Add the remaining fish and the shrimp and cook, covered, until the mussels open and the fish and shrimp are just cooked through, 3 to 4 more minutes. (Discard any mussels that do not open.) Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the baguette with the rouille and serve with the bouillabaisse. Sprinkle with parsley.
