Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 15 min.
Wash, peel and cut 2 carrots and 2 turnips into small sticks (julienne).
Stage 2 - 3 min.
Wash 100 g mange-tout peas.
Stage 3 - 5 min.
Cut into small pieces.
Stage 4 - 20 min.
Prepare ½ green cabbage, raw.
Stage 5 - 15 min.
In a large pan boil about 2 litres water, add 2 tablespoons coarse salt.
Stage 6 - 3 min.
Put in carrots, bring back to the boil, and cook for about 2 or 3 minutes until the sticks are soft.
Stage 7 - 3 min.
Remove carrots from boiling water, and put them in cold water.
Stage 8 - 3 min.
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.
Set vegetables aside.
Stage 10 - 3 min.
Wash 1 piece Fish, it's not necessary to remove skin and bones now, that will be much easier when fish is cooked.
Stage 11 - 40 min.
Put fish into the vegetables broth, over a low heat.
Cook gently, without boiling, just barely simmering, until it becomes opaque (about 40 minutes).
A better method: cook until internal temperature reaches 70°C or 158°F (an electronic thermometer is useful). Once at this temperature, the fish is cooked, and longer or hotter cooking serves no purpose.
