Bouillon Brèdes
Creole leafy broth with tomato, ginger, garlic and chilli.

About Bouillon Brèdes
Muchoco’s bouillon brèdes recalls the Réunionnais and Malagasy cooking of her childhood. This family version uses radish leaves and spinach in an aromatic broth with ripe tomatoes.
Onion, garlic and fresh ginger form the aromatic base. Red chilli purée gives the broth heat, while coarse salt, fine salt and pepper provide the seasoning.
The leaves wilt into the broth while keeping some texture with the tomatoes. Water forms the liquid around the greens, giving a leafy soup rather than a completely dry vegetable dish.
