step 1
Heat 60ml olive oil in a very large, deep pan and add the onion (1), celery (2 sticks), fennel bulb (1/2), leek (1) and garlic (2 cloves). Cook for 4-5 minutes over a medium heat until softened. Season with black pepper and add a sprinkling of the thyme (1 handful) (leave some to garnish), then the saffron (1 tsp), bay leaf (1), 3 strips of orange peel (1) and tomatoes (4). Cook for a further 3 minutes.
step 2
Add the fish stock (1 L), bring to the boil and keep at a gentle boil for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer, add the prawns (1 pack) and cook for 2 minutes. Add the monkfish (1 pack) and cook for a further 2 minutes, then add the sea bass (2 packs) and cook for a final 2-3 minutes, or until tender. Scatter with the oregano (1 handful) and remaining thyme.
step 3
To make the rouille, infuse the saffron (1 pinch) in 1 tsp boiling water, then mix with the garlic (1 clove), paprika (1 tsp) and mayonnaise (6 tbsp).
step 4
To make the croutons, sauté the baguette rounds (1) in olive oil until crisp and golden.
step 5
Divide the bouillabaisse between 4 bowls. Top each with some of the croutons and a spoonful of rouille.
