Classic La Bourride
Emeril Lagasse

 Ingredients:
1 recipe La Bourride Base (recipe follows)
Pinch saffron
1 cup julienne leeks
3 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes
Juice and strips of zest from 1 orange
1 cup julienne fennel
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons finely chopped freshly parsley leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 pounds of white fish, such as mullet, ocean perch or pollack,
cleaned and filleted
1 cup Aïoli (recipe follows)
8 egg yolks
6 to 8 (1-inch) slices crusty French bread
1 cup Rouille (recipe follows)

 Put the stock in a large, heavy pot on medium heat and bring to a gentle boil. Add the saffron, leeks, tomatoes, orange juice, orange zest, fennel, garlic, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer the liquid for 6 minutes. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Add the fish to the pot. Cook for 12 minutes, or until the fish is flaky. Remove the fish and set aside. In a large saucepan, over low heat, combine 1/4 cup of the Aïoli and the egg yolks, together. Whisk until smooth. Slowly whisk into the fish liquid. Continue to cook until the liquid starts to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. To serve, place the croutons in the center of each bowl. Ladle the sauce over the bread. Lay a couple pieces of fish on top of the crouton. Serve the remaining Aïoli and Rouille in sauce boats to the side of the La Bourride.
