FFwD ~ Simplest Breton Fish Soup

This soup is just right for us now
as hubby is on a mission to reduce his waistline numbers
he went without the bread while I had two slices!

used stock made with fish bones and asparagus stalks (tough parts)

garnished with asparagus tips

frozen mussels on half shell (which I discarded)

added carrots and chopped asparagus stalks (the tender parts)

 

 you MUST make the vinaigrette, not as an option!

it made this soup sensational

(which I made with chopped spring onions instead of parsley)

the above was our dinner on New Year's Day 2015

and I made Adriana's Tembleque,
a Puerto Rican Coconut Custard/Pudding
Adriana's recipe is available  H.E.R.E.!
my variation:
is sans the cinnamon stick and powder
(cos I had none of both)
I used one 'peeled coconut' blended
in addition to half cup of thick coconut milk
tapioca flour in place of cornstarch

What is 'peeled coconut' ?

and one small piece of palm sugar in place of white sugar

hence making the pudding caramel in color not white

Read about Palm Sugar HERE!

at this time, the pudding is chilling in the fridge
but I can tell you that it is delicious
I was licking the ladle clean after filling up the containers!
Update:

Hubby loved this

initially - he said he will eat half of this portion

but ended up cleaning the plate

he also asked if I can make this again 

for his friends.....
