Traditional Flemish Waterzooi Recipe image

Some call this traditional Flemish fish dish a stew while others argue that it's a soup. Either way, it's an excellent way to enjoy fresh seafood.

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

10.5 oz./300 g. potatoes (peeled)
2 tbsp./30 g. butter
1 stalk celery (finely sliced)
1 carrot (finely sliced)
1 onion (finely sliced)
1 leek (finely sliced)
7/8 cup/7 fl. oz./200 ml. fish stock
5 oz./150 g. fillet plaice (skinless, cut into pieces)
5 oz./150 g. fillet haddock (skinless, cut into pieces)
3.5 oz./100 g. mussels (cleaned, see Tips below)
1 egg yolk
2/5 cup/3.5 fl. oz./100 ml. cream
3.5 oz./100 g. shrimp (peeled Hollandse garnalen [brown shrimp] or 10.5 oz./300 g. unpeeled shrimp)
1 tbsp. chives (finely chopped)
Salt & freshly cracked pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes in salted water until cooked.
  • Heat the butter in a frying pan.
  • Add the celery, carrot, and onion and cook the vegetables for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are soft and glazed.
  • Now add the leeks and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the stock to the vegetable mixture and allow it to infuse for 3 minutes.
  • Gently poach the fish fillets in the broth for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the mussels after 1 minute.
  • Remove the seafood from the pan once the mussels have opened and set aside. Strain the stock into a saucepan.
  • Set the vegetables aside to use later.
  • Whisk the egg yolk with the cream in a bowl.
  • Put the stock back on the heat and, once it reaches boiling point, add the cream and egg mixture to thicken the stock and create a sauce.
  • Now mix well with a whisk and make sure the sauce does not come to the boil again.
  • Add the peeled shrimp and half the chives and stir.
  • Place the fish pieces in a serving bowl along with the vegetables and potatoes.
  • Pour the sauce over it.
  • Garnish with the remaining chives. Tip: Most mussels sold in the Netherlands today have already been cleaned and debearded. If your mussels haven't been cleaned, simply use a knife or wire brush to scrape off any barnacles on the shells. Debeard the mussels by pulling off any strands. Place the mussels in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cool water. Discard any that have broken shells. Tap the open mussels on a hard surface and if they do not close within a few moments, throw them out too.

WATERZOOI OF CHICKEN



Waterzooi of Chicken image

From Ruth Van Waerebeek's "Everyone Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook." Don't be turned off by the unusual name; it's Dutch in origin (pronounced VAH-ter-zoy); it's basically a hearty chicken and vegetable soup/stew thing, with a deliciously rich and creamy broth. (I tell the kids that it's Belgian Chicken Soup, and they love it.) It's not hard to make at all, and great for entertaining since it can be prepared almost entirely ahead of time.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (3 -4 lb) whole chickens
salt and pepper
2 bay leaves
4 sprigs fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
4 -6 cups chicken broth
4 large carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
5 medium leeks, rinsed well, white parts only, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
2 medium celery ribs, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
4 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup heavy cream
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Remove excess fat from chicken cavity. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Place 1 bay leaf, 2 sprigs parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon thyme in cavity. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt butter in heavy Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent (but not browned); about 5 minutes.
  • Place the chicken, breast side up, in the Dutch oven, on top of the onions. Add chicken broth (and water, if necessary) to mostly cover the chicken (by about two-thirds). Cover and simmer gently over low heat for 30 minutes.
  • Skim the suface to remove any foam and fat. Add the carrots, leeks, and celery. Add the remaining parsley sprigs, thyme and bay leaf. Cover, and adjust heat to maintain a slow simmer for another 30 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and continue to simmer until potatoes are done and chicken is very tender, about 20 or 30 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Remove chicken and transfer to a large plate. Use a slotted spoon or similar tool to remove parsley and bay leaves from broth. Let the chicken rest until it is cool enough to handle, then just use your fingers to remove the skin and peel meat from the bones. Discard skin and bones. Continue to use your fingers to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
  • Place Dutch oven with broth (which has cooled a little) over medium heat. While that's heating up, beat the cream and the egg yolks together in a bowl. Now, take a ladleful of hot broth and slowly add to the egg yolk mixture, while stirring. This tempers the yolks. Then, slowly stir the tempered egg yolk mixture into the larger pot of broth and vegetables. Do not boil or the egg yolks might curdle. Add the chicken. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
  • Serve in bowls, making sure everyone gets equal amounts of chicken, vegetable and broth. I serve a with a hearty loaf of hand-sliced bread.
  • Note: Waterzooi can be prepare almost entirely in advance, and the flavors are actually enhanced by sitting overnight in the refrigerator. The day before you plan to serve the dish, prepare the recipe through Step 5. Let cool completely and refrigerate the broth and vegetable separately from the chcken. The following day, before serving, reheat the chicken in the broth. Prepare the egg yolk and cream mixture and proceed with the last steps of the recipe. (The chicken may remain in the broth.).
