SCALLOP BOURRIDE



Scallop Bourride image

Bourride is a Provençal fish stew enriched and thickened with aioli, a garlic mayonnaise. It is often made with the same types of "trash fish" that go into a classic bouillabaisse. But here I use sea scallops. Their creamy sweetness makes this dish a particular indulgence. You will not need more than a green salad and a light fruit dessert to make this a satisfying dinner. A steely, minerally chardonnay can balance and tame the richness of this dish, while an oakier example will enhance its lushness. If you prefer not to make the mayonnaise, you can substitute a commercial brand, seasoned with crushed garlic.

BOURRIDE



Bourride image

Chez Paul, located near the port of Marseille, stands at a crossroads with three other fish restaurants. But the license from the Beth Din of Marseille, hanging on the wall, certifying that the restaurant is kosher, sets this one apart. When I visited Chez Paul, Fathi Hmam, the Tunisian Muslim chef, was busy prepping bouillabaisse for the evening's dinner. Technically, his bouillabaisse stew is a bourride, because it only has fish with fins and scales-those that swim near the magnificent rocky shore of this ancient port city of France. But he does not use lotte (monkfish), also a nonkosher fish, central to fish bourrides in Marseille. Bourride is one of the oldest dishes in France, said to have been brought by the Phoenicians in the sixth century B.C.E. Of course, the tomatoes and potatoes arrived much later. It is also said that a few Jews came with the Phoenicians on this voyage. Is that why, perhaps, there is no shellfish in the bourride? The success of this simple dish depends on knowing at what moment the fish is perfectly cooked. And, of course, don't forget the rouille (see page 63), which North African Jews and Muslims alike make their own by adding a Tunisian touch: harissa.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups white wine
8 to 10 cups fish broth or water
Sea salt and pepper to taste
Peel of 1 orange
Pinch of saffron
1 large onion, peeled and diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 leek, cleaned and chopped
1 fennel bulb, diced
1 teaspoon anise seeds
4 tomatoes, peeled and diced, or one 15-ounce can tomatoes
2 carrots, peeled and diced
A few branches fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh parsley, plus 1 cup diced parsley
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
4 pounds mixed fish fillets, such as mahimahi, bluefish, striped bass, sea bream, or codfish, cut in big chunks
1 baguette
Rouille (see page 63)

Steps:

  • Put the olive oil, the wine, 8 cups of fish broth or water, salt, pepper, the orange peel, saffron, onion, garlic, leek, fennel, anise seeds, tomatoes, carrots, thyme, and parsley sprig in a 6-quart casserole, and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until they are almost done. Then add the fish in two batches, starting with firmer fish and waiting about a minute to put in the next batch. Simmer, covered, for 5 to 7 minutes, until done, adding more broth if necessary. Fish out the orange peel, the thyme, and the parsley; use a knife to slice the fish carefully, adjust seasonings with salt and pepper; and sprinkle on the diced parsley. Serve immediately in one big bowl with some of the broth. Place the fish and ladle the broth on top. Slice the baguette into small rounds, toast, and serve with a teaspoon or so of rouille on top. Serve the remainder of the baguette and the rouille on the side.

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!

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.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Lemon Aioli
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon (generous) saffron threads, crushed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 cups chopped leeks (white and pale green parts only; about 4 large)
2 large fennel bulbs, trimmed, diced
2 large carrots, peeled, diced
4 Turkish bay leaves
3 tablespoons 1 X 1/16-inch strips orange peel (orange part only)
5 1/2 cups bottled clam juice or fish stock
4 pounds halibut fillets, cut into 2-inch chunks
4 large egg yolks
Fresh chervil sprigs (optional)

Steps:

  • Transfer 1 1/3 cups aioli to medium bowl; reserve remaining aioli. Mix lemon juice and saffron in small bowl; set aside.
  • Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add leeks, fennel, and carrots; sauté 10 minutes. Stir in bay leaves and orange peel, then clam juice and lemon-saffron mixture. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Add fish; reduce heat to medium. Simmer until fish is opaque in center, occasionally spooning liquid over fish to submerge if necessary, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer fish to large bowl; cover.
  • Boil liquid in pot 10 minutes to reduce slightly. Whisk 1/2 cup reduced liquid into bowl with 1 1/3 cups aioli, then whisk in egg yolks. Return yolk-aioli mixture to remaining liquid in pot. Using wooden spoon, stir constantly over medium-low heat until sauce thickens slightly, about 7 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Stir fish and any accumulated juices into hot sauce in pot; let stand until fish is heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Divide bourride among 8 shallow bowls. Garnish with chervil sprigs, if desired. Serve remaining aioli alongside.

Tips:

  • To make a flavorful broth, use a combination of fish bones, shrimp shells, and aromatic vegetables.
  • For a creamy and smooth sauce, blend the cooked fish and vegetables with a blender or food processor until completely smooth.
  • If you don't have saffron, you can substitute a pinch of turmeric or paprika for color.
  • Serve the bourride with a variety of accompaniments, such as croutons, rouille, and grated cheese.

Conclusion:

Bourride is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover fish and vegetables, and it can be easily tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are a seafood lover or simply looking for a new and exciting dish to try, bourride is definitely worth a try.
