Join me and let's see how to make Bouillabaisse

Instructions:

    Step 1
  • Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, fennel, and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Step 2
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, white wine, fish or seafood stock, bay leaf, thyme, oregano, and saffron (if using). Season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Step 3
  • While the broth simmers, cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces.
  • Step 4
  • Add the fish pieces to the simmering broth and cook for 5 minutes. Then, add the squid, shrimp, mussels, and clams. Cover the pot and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and the clams and mussels have opened.
  • Step 5
  • Discard any unopened clams or mussels.
  • Step 6
  • Ladle the bouillabaisse into serving bowls, making sure to distribute the seafood evenly. Garnish with fresh parsley.
  • Step 7
  • Serve hot with crusty bread and rouille sauce on the side. Enjoy your taste of the Mediterranean!
