Broth Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Ingredients
Chop the shallots and fennel bulb into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Rinse the capers under cold water to remove excess salt.
Soak the Saffron
In a small bowl, soak the saffron threads in 2 tablespoons of warm water. Set aside to allow the flavors to infuse.
Cooking
Add the Garlic
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the Tomato Broth
Pour in the tomato broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Add Capers and Saffron
Stir in the rinsed capers and the saffron along with its soaking water. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Final Adjustments
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
