Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. PREPARATION: Peel and coarsley chop the onions. Rinse leeks, remove green tops, and reserve white parts for another use.
  2. COOKING: Heat oil in a 6-quart soup kettle. Add onions and saute over medium-high heat until softened, about 2 minutes. Add fish heads and bones and saute until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt and tomato paste. Add the boiling water to the soup kettle. Cut the celery stalk in half and add it to the soup along with the thyme and leek greens. Simmer for 25 minutes. Strain broth through a fine sieve and return it to the soup kettle; set aside. (Can cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.)
