Yield
Serves: 4
Preparation
For the Bouillabaisse: Mix the oil, garlic, saffron, lemon rind, salt, pepper, fennel seeds, herbes de Provence, onion, celery and carrot in a large bowl. Add the chicken thighs and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to cook.
Transfer the contents of the bowl to a stainless steel pot and add the tomatoes, wine, water and potatoes. Cover, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and boil gently for 25 minutes. Add the sausage and cook for 5 minutes longer. If adding Pernod or Ricard, stir it in now with the tarragon.
For the Rouille: Remove half a cooked potato and 1/4 cup liquid from the pot and place in a food processor with the garlic, cayenne and paprika. Process for 10 seconds then add the egg yolk. With the processor running, slowly add the oil until it is incorporated. Taste for salt and adjust, if needed.
Serve the bouillabaisse in warmed soup plates with a spoonful of the rouille drizzled on top.
