The 'one-eyed' Bouillabaisse brought back to Marseille by Japanese guests
Fish-free bouillabaisse, some kind of tricky story from Marseille ?.. Nothing but reality brought to me by Japanese people in passion for the history of our specialty. Some
of them don't miss a chance to ask for this uncommon dish, and I am truly happy with it nowadays. There you can find the bases of the recipe.
You will need : olive oil, spinach shoots, onions, fennels, tomatoes, leeks, potatoes, garlic, thyme, orange peel, safran, egg and slice of bread. Leeks and fennels must be
minced, tomatoes crushed and potatoes sliced. First you will cook all these ingredients in olive oil for a short time, then add twice their volume of water. Vegetables are
meant to be served in a single-person saucepan-like dish being let in the oven after having added spinach and an egg. The flavours of safran, orange and fennel are just
wonderful. It's a very fresh and tasty dish Japanese people enjoy most, as they don't have to deal with fishbones -for they usually consider it very annoying to do.
