Bouillabaisse Bites

November 27, 2018 by mgrc Leave a Comment

Pastis, an aniseed-flavored liquor which turns cloudy when mixed with water, is a popular drink among the fishermen in Marseilles, home of the world-famous stew called bouillabaisse. Bouillabaisse Bites are humble reminders of that glorious dish. If Pastis is not available, substitute Pernod.

Makes 12-24 bites.
