Saffron Fish Stew with Fennel and Leeks
Introduction
Otherwise known as bouillabaisse, the classic Provençal fish stew. For a definitive description of the dish, see John Lanchester’s A Debt to Pleasure. This version uses many of his suggested ingredients, but in an easy, quick oven version, perfect for a relaxed weekend lunch. Serve with lots of crusty bread to mop up the soup.

| fennel, halved and very finely sliced | |
| garlic, crushed | |

| orange zest | |
| bay leaf | |
| saffron threads | |
| good fish stock | |

| mixed fish fillets (think salmon, smoked haddock, cod, large raw prawns or monkfish if you are feeling fancy; fish can be ready-cubed as fish pie mix) | |
