What is bouillabaisse, a French fish soup
: May 27, 2011
Bouillabaisse(fish soup)
Bouillabaisse is probably the most famous traditional recipe from Provence. A hearty fish soup originating from Marseille.
Traditionally in Marseille, bouillabaise is rarely made for less than 10 people, the more people who share the meal the more different kinds of seafood are used, resulting in a better Bouillabaise.
Normally served with ‘Rouille’ a spicy mayonnaise made with olive oil, garlic, chilli and stale bread.
Method
Take 2 large cloves of garlic and grind to a paste in a mortar
take a piece of stale bread, soak it in water and squeeze the water out until you are left with a large walnutsized ball of bread.
Finely chop 2 red chillies and add the chillies and the ball of bread to the mortar and pound until smooth.
Whisk in the olive oil until the mixture looks like smooth red mayonnaise.
The name ‘Bouillabaisse’ comes from the method in which the soup is cooked. The ingredients are not added all at onceThe soup is first boiled (bouillir) then the fish is added one by one lowering the heat (abaisser) each time.
