Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 10 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 1
It is not necessary to use fish fillet, ordinary pieces will be fine.

Wash the 600 g fish fillet, remove skin and bones then cut into medium size pieces.

Stage 2 - 20 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 2
Wash 6 leeks, and slice thinly.

In a large pan, melt 80 g butter and add the sliced leeks, and well mix but don't add salt.

Stage 3 - 5 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 3
Cook uncovered 4 - 5 minutes, until leeks are almost cooked, but still a bit crunchy.

Stage 4 - 1 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 4
Add the fish pieces, mix well and cover.

Stage 5 - 10 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 5
Leave to cook until fish becomes opaque.

Stage 6 - 10 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 6
Add 400 ml cream, salt and pepper, then thicken the cream over a low heat for a few minutes.

It's ready.
Remarks
Adding cream is optional, but Nicholas loves it and it's smoother with it.

You can add other vegetables, but I think that leeks are essential.
Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.

How to prepare tomatoes
Yes, I know you will say to me: why peel tomatoes? The answer is very simple: it's much better, gives a better texture, softer in the mouth. The skin is tough, adds nothing to the taste (and you will have noticed that commercial tomatoes have practically no taste), and finally it's there (on/under the skin) that the awful chemical products that the fruit receive during growth, are concentrated (treatments, pesticides, etc...).

Don't add a stock cube whole
If you add a stock cube to a recipe, it's much better to not add it whole, because it will take a long time to dissolve.
