Method
- Soften the fennel, onion and leek in half the olive oil for 8-10 minutes, then add the garlic and cook another minute.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, fish stock, saffron, bay leaf, orange zest and cayenne; bring to a boil and simmer 15 minutes to make a fragrant broth.
- Add the fish first, simmer 3-4 minutes, then add the shrimp and mussels and cook a further 4-5 minutes until the mussels open and the fish is just cooked through.
- Meanwhile whisk the egg yolk with the remaining olive oil, a little of the hot broth, and a pinch of extra saffron and cayenne to make a quick rouille; toast the bread.
- Season the soup with the salt, ladle over the toasted bread in bowls, and serve the rouille alongside to spread on the toast.
- The rouille contains a lightly cooked egg yolk; if serving to pregnant women, young children or the elderly, use a pasteurised egg or skip the rouille.
