Tinas Fish Stew With Lemon Aioli Food

FISH SOUP WITH LEMON AIOLI

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add onion, potatoes, and fennel; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion has softened, about 10 minutes (do not allow vegetables to brown).
• Add wine, increase heat to medium-high, and cook until liquid has nearly evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add clam juice and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer; cook until potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks. Whisking constantly, gradually ladle about 1 cup of hot liquid from saucepan into yolks; add mixture to pan. Add fish, and simmer gently until fish is opaque and soup is slightly thickened (do not boil), 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Ladle soup into serving bowls; garnish with fennel fronds, if desired. Spread toasted bread with Lemon Aioli, and serve alongside soup.

• In small bowl, stir together Lemon-Herb Aioli ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Gather 3 wide, shallow dishes. In first dish, stir together flour, dash salt, dash pepper and dash paprika. In second dish, beat egg, milk and hot sauce with whisk. In last dish, stir together bread crumbs, dash salt, dash pepper and dash paprika.
• Coat fish sticks with seasoned flour, dip into egg mixture to coat, and then bread crumb mixture, pressing bread crumbs into fish if needed. Place on plate; repeat with remaining fish until all are coated.
• Heat 10-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fill skillet with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of oil (enough to reach halfway up sides of fish pieces). Once oil is hot, fry fish sticks in batches, a few minutes on each side, until golden brown, crisp and fish feels firm. Drain on paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining fish. Serve with aioli and if desired, lemon wedges.
