Wash 100 g mange-tout peas.

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

Stage 4 - ⌛ 20 min.

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

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.

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.

Ice-cream Vacherin
Ice-cream Vacherin
Ice-cream vacherin is a festive French dessert. It consists of two different flavours of ice cream (blackcurrant and vanilla here) sandwiched between two circles of meringue, topped with whorls of Chantilly (whipped cream) which is then frozen. It is not too complicated, but involves a bit of work and quite a few trips to the freezer and back.
