Let’s share the recipe of a typical, colourful and flavoury dish from Provence: La Bouillabaisse d’oeufs (Eggs’ Bouillabaisse). Don’t be fooled by the title, it’s really simple and Pascal Bonamy, chef of La Colombe restaurant gives you his tips …
You will need (for 4):
- 6 potatoes
- 4 tomatoes
- 8 eggs
- 2 onions
- 2 leeks
- 3 cloves of garlic
- saffron
- 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
- olive oil
- 1 bouquet garni, salt and pepper.
- Bread to make croutons.
The method:
Peel the potatoes and cut into large pieces. Cut the leeks into thin slices; Coarsely chop the onion and 1 garlic. Cut the tomatoes into quarters, remove the seeds.
In a pan: Saute onions and garlic over low heat in olive oil, then add the other vegetables, bouquet garni, salt and pepper. Cover with water, add the saffron and simmer for 25-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the poached eggs. Slice the bread, rub with garlic. Place the bread in a hot oven to toast it.
Serve with “rouille”.
Pascal’s tip: break the egg directly into a ramekin lined with cellophane, salt and pepper and gently tie the cellophane. Repeat for all the eggs. Boil water and gently dip the eggs wrapped in cellophane for a few minutes. Remove the eggs from the water and remove the foil.
