Wash, peel and cut 2 carrots and 2 turnips into small sticks (julienne).

Stage 2 - ⌛ 3 min.
Stock-pot fish  : Stage 2
Wash 100 g mange-tout peas.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 5 min.
Stock-pot fish  : Stage 3
Cut into small pieces.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 20 min.
Stock-pot fish  : Stage 4
Prepare ½ green cabbage, raw.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 15 min.
Stock-pot fish  : Stage 5
In a large pan boil about 2 litres water, add 2 tablespoons coarse salt.

When they have cooled completely, drain and set aside.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 25 min.

Continue like this for all the vegetables, without changing cooking water, which is becoming the vegetable stock for cooking the fish.

Set vegetables aside.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 3 min.
Stock-pot fish  : Stage 10
Wash 1 piece Fish, it's not necessary to remove skin and bones now, that will be much easier when fish is cooked.

Put fish into the vegetables broth, over a low heat.

Cook gently, without boiling, just barely simmering, until it becomes opaque (about 40 minutes).

Pilau rice
Pilau rice
Pilau rice (also called "restaurant rice" in France) is a way of cooking rice that's very different from using a rice-cooker. In this recipe, the rice is first "pearled" with onion in olive oil, then chicken stock is added, and the whole lot is put in the oven. This produces a very tasty moist rice, which can easily be kept waiting without drying out.
