Bouyon Blan
Seychellois white fish broth with young ridge gourd and bilimbi.
About Bouyon Blan
This Seychellois bouyon blan follows The Creole Melting Pot’s white-fish broth with ridge gourd and bilimbi. Rabbitfish, identified by the authors as a usual local choice, is selected within their firm-white-fish recipe rather than their Atlantic-cod substitute.
Bilimbi brings tartness to fish, tomato and aromatic herbs. The young ridge gourd contributes the faint sweetness and mild bitterness described by the authors.
Fish pieces and gourd share the broth with onion and herbs. Plain boiled rice, chutney and freshly made hot chilli sauce accompany this version.
