Today I want to share my Fish Soup recipe with all of you. As you may know, Ramadan started this year five days ago. We break our fasting with a date and a glass of milk. Then we start our dinner (iftar) with soup. This is usually harira or chorba: two Algerian soups (I will post the recipes later on this month). But sometimes it's good to change the habit, therefor this recipe! It's also a delicious soup outside the month Ramadan and definitely my favorite. There are many different recipes, but this is my version.
Saha ftorkom! (Bon appetit!)
The Ingredients:
- 2 large sardines
- 250 gram shrimp
- 2 large onions
- 2 large red sweet paprika
- 2 large roots
- a half celeriac
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 fish bouillon cubes
- 4 tomatoes
- 1 canned tomato paste
- oil
- some parsley
- salt, peper, cumin and paprikapowder
The preparation:
In a large stockpot, add 5 tablespoons of oil: let heat a little. Chop the onions, the paprika, the celeriac and the tomatoes. Scrub the scale of the sardines. Cut the sardines in half and remove the bones: make sure there aren't any left. Add to the heated oil the onions and let fry for about 2-3 min. Add the chopped vegetables, the sardines, the shrimp, the tomato paste, the bay leaves and bouillon cubes. Tie the parsley together and put on top. Add a teaspoon of cumin and paprikapowder: salt and pepper to own taste (I use 1.5 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper). Now add water to the stockpot and let cook for about an houre: middle to high heat. After an houre, remove the stockpot of the heat and remove the parsley, mix the ingredients: I use a blender. The soup may be thick: add some water and stir. Let cook for another 10-15 min. Serve the soup hot.
