Sopa de Ajo

A basque-style Spanish stew made with garlic, stale bread and tinned fish, of course!

Ingredients

6 ounce stale bread, torn into 1" pieces

1 head garlic, peeled and sliced

1/2 cups olive oil, divided

1 tbsps smoky paprika

1/2 cups white wine

1 quarts chicken stock

1 tbsps salt

2 medium eggs, lightly beaten

1 cans Tiny Fish Co. Smoked Mussels

3 sprig parsley

Preparation

Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a tall sided pan. Add the bread and toast for a few minutes, stirring frequently. Add the sliced garlic and last 1/4 cup olive oil and continue to cook on medium heat, stirring, until the bread and garlic is toasted and golden brown. Stir in the paprika and toast for another minute, then add white wine. Once the white wine has evaporated, add in the chicken stock and salt and let the mixture come to a simmer. Meanwhile, beat the two eggs. Once the soup begins to simmer, drizzle in the eggs while stirring in a circular motion at the same time to create egg ribbons. Remove the soup from the heat then add the smoked mussels. Season with salt as desired and serve with a handful of torn parsley and few more glugs of good olive oil.

I’ll be making a soup I learned to make while living and working in the Basque country and incorporated my Smoked Mussels en Escabeche to give it a tinned fish twist.
