Luxurious fish broth for a chic soirée.
Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 2 small fennel bulbs, cut into wedges, fronds reserved
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 small red chilli, seeded, chopped
  • 150ml vermouth or dry white wine
  • 1/2 tsp saffron threads
  • 410g canned chopped tomatoes
  • 375ml fish stock
  • 500g skinless firm white fish (such as blue-eye or cod), cut into 3cm chunks
  • 20.00 ml Pernod* (optional)
  • 125.00 ml black olives
Instructions:
  • In a large deep frypan over medium heat, heat oil. Cook fennel bulbs for 2-3 minutes until golden. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Saute the onion in the pan for 1-2 minutes, then mix in the garlic and chili. Pour in the vermouth, saffron, tomato, and stock. Bring it to a boil, place the fennel back into the pan, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Add the fish, cook for an additional 5 minutes, stir in the Pernod and olives, and season it to taste. Serve garnished with fennel fronds and a dollop of ready-made aioli for a luxurious finish.
