BOURRIDE SèTOISE - PROVENCE FISH SOUP WITH AïOLI



Bourride Sètoise - Provence Fish Soup With Aïoli image

Bourride is a classic Mediterranean fish stew or soup, which is much less complicated and expensive to make than bouillabaisse. There are various local variations, this version originates from Sète, where they make it with monkfish & no other type of fish is added; however, in Marseille they use a mixture of any firm white fish. Some people serve the broth on its own, followed by the fish and vegetables with boiled potatoes and aïoli. Another way of serving it is to put slices of French bread in bowls and pour the soup over them. However, this version is slightly more restrained and elegant! There is a local myth that says, when the Greek gods got bored with Olympus they came to Marseille to eat bourride, this being the only food that was fit for the gods! Don't be put off by the amount of garlic that goes into it, the soup itself tastes creamy rather than garlicky, and it's up to you how much aïoli you spread on your bread! This is a much adapted recipe taken from one of my favourite French cookbooks, "La Cuisine du Sud - Poissons et Fruits de Mer" This quantity serves 6-8 people, with copious amounts of French bread & aïoli.....oh yes, don't forget the Pastis too!

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 kg monkfish or 1 1/2 kg other firm white fish fillets
1/2 liter olive oil, approx
3 tomatoes, chopped roughly
2 onions, chopped roughly
13 garlic cloves, peeled & diced
1 sprig thyme
1 orange, zest of, grated
1/2 teaspoon saffron
2 glasses white wine
1/2 lemon, juice of
3 egg yolks
salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pan bring to the boil the roughly chopped tomatoes and onions, 5 cloves of garlic, the thyme, saffron & orange zest.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil & one glass of white wine plus 1 litre of water.
  • Simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pound the remaining garlic to a puree in a pestle and mortar (or liquidise it if you are feeling lazy).
  • Blend in 2 egg yolks and add salt and pepper.
  • Gradually beat in the remaining olive oil in a thin stream, using a whisk, until you feel the aioli is thick enough.
  • Add lemon juice to taste and leave on one side. (Reward yourself for your efforts by drinking the other glass of wine!).
  • Cut the skinned and boned fish into 1" chunks and add it to the saucepan.
  • Poach for 15 minutes.
  • Then remove the fish with a draining spoon and keep warm.
  • Sieve the stock and discard the *vegetables.
  • Return the stock to the pan and reheat gently.
  • Take about half of the aioli and beat the remaining egg yolk into it. Then slowly pour the warmed stock onto it, stirring constantly.
  • Return this mixture to the pan and heat gently, stirring all the time, until it thickens slightly.
  • It should be like rather thin custard. Don't let it boil, or it will curdle.
  • Divide the cooked fish between serving bowls and pour the soup over it.
  • Serve with thin slices of toasted French bread and the remaining aioli.
  • NOTE: I serve the *vegetables - tomatoes, onions & garlic on the side as an extra vegetable.

ORANGE-PECAN PASSOVER BUNDT CAKE



Orange-Pecan Passover Bundt Cake image

This moist cake has an delicious citrus flavour and an excellent texture. It's from "Bon Appétit" (April 1992). It keeps very well- up to a week or more! The recipe also works very well with toasted Passover macaroons. Toast them in the oven at 250F until completely dry and then process them into coarse crumbs. If you do not have a large food processer you may need to process the mandle cuts (or other cookies) and then add the sugar and the nuts. Use a nonstick pan and don't overbake. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover cake tightly and store at room temperature.)

TUNISIAN FISH CAKES WITH LEMON-PAPRIKA AïOLI (PASSOVER)



Tunisian Fish Cakes With Lemon-Paprika Aïoli (Passover) image

This is a wonderful dish that even those who don't usually like fish will enjoy. Recipe is from "Bon Appétit" (April 2003). If you are not making this for Passover, you can replace the matzo meal with breadcrumbs. Recipe can be easily halved. These rewarm well, so it's a great dish to prepare ahead of time. They actually freeze well too, and taste good cold. If you form larger patties, these make a great main dish.
