| Linda's Fish Soup - Linda Pile |
For 2/3 people.
You could add white wine and other sorts
of fish/shellfish but it might be a bit rich
with too much wine, we didn't bother, and
it tasted great without.
Ingredients:
1 large salmon steak
2 fillets of white fish - pollack/coley/cod
4 oz prawns or mussels (shelled)
2 onions finely chopped
nutmeg/salt/pepper/bay leaf.
3 medium potatoes cubed
1 large carrot julienned
1 tbsp curry powder or home made version
1 fish stock cube (yeast free if poss, but
Ashton says some
yeast is OK) or
Thai fish sauce to taste
1 tbsp tomato puree
olive or sunflower oil
2 pints ish of real fish stock (Tescos fish
counter will give you
the heads and
bones if you buy a whole salmon - reduced
this week!) |
Method
Sweat the onions/carrot/potatoes in oil for
10 minutes and add
all spices then
the tomato puree. Put in fish stock and stock
cube.
Boil then simmer long enough for the potatoes
to cook. Put
fish/shellfish in for
5 minutes and there you are. |

Ingredients: (Serves 2)
Wings, 2 off approx 10/12 ozs each
2 Heads of Fennel
2 Cloves Garlic
Good shot Sambucca
Tops of Fennel for Garnish |
Method
A very simple and quick dish.
Have fish monger skin the skate and make
sure it is not one of
those 'stupid'
palm of hand fish that should not have been
taken.
Remove base & outside layer off Fennel.
Seperate layers and
cut down the
lengh into 'jullien' (strips about 1/8"
wide).
Bring large pot water to boil and plunge
fennel into it when at a
rolling boil,
bring to simmer and cook for approx 5/10
mins testing until 'al
dente'. Strain
and plunge into cold water and leave under
running water to
cool, to stop
cooking.
Strain and Dry on kitchen towel.
Heat a large frying pan and add a little
Virgin Olive Oil, add
wings when hot
and when almost cooked through, add fennel
and 2 cloves of
finely chopped
garlic, add 'good slug' (approx 5 tablesppons)
of sambucca.
Tilt pan to one
side and ignite, when flames subside, plate
fennel, place skate
onto it and
share pan juices. Garnish with green tops
off fennel. Have
some fish stock to
hand in case you have insufficient pan juices.
Serve with New Potatoes, Broccoli and carrot.

Fennel is a great vegetable, use sparingly
in fish stocks for
extra flafour, or
par boil for 5 mins and roast with Jean Crosbie's
Mediteranian
Veg recipe. A
lovely flavour with fish, this is one of
my favourites - Graham
