...turned out pretty well. *burp* In fact I think I overate just a little...
Here's the recipe.
- 500 grams of cod. I buy small pieces that are cheap because they're full of bones. I'd call them 'cod pieces' but somehow that sounds totally wrong...
- A handful of peeled shrimp (I used deep frozen)
- A bag of what they call 'soup vegetables' here. A mixture of pre-cut celery, carrots, leeks and cauliflower. About 500 grams
- A small zucchini or half of a big one, cut in small cubes or strips
- Two cloves of garlic (I like how we call them 'toes' in Dutch!) (pressed)
- Two laurel leaves (bay leaves)
- Fish or vegetable stock cubes
- Pepper
- Pesto (basil sauce), about half a jar or several table spoons full
- One small tin of tomato puree
Boil the cod in about 2 litres of water until it is white and soft. Drain the cod but keep the water, it's used in the soup.
Spread the fish out on a cutting board and pick the bones out by hand. Now you know why you paid only one euro for a pound of fish.
Throw the bones away but give the skins to your cat, you'll make yourself enormously popular.
Put the fish back into the water. Add all the other ingredients.
Let it boil for at least 15 minutes and season to taste.
Very nice with ciabatta or other kind of bread. and white wine.
