Consommé à la Carmélite (Carmelite-Style Fish Consommé)

Ingredients

• 1 liter fish consommé
• 3 grams arrowroot
• whiting bread à la crème (pain de merlan à la crème)
• whole-grain rice

Instructions

1. Heat the fish consommé. Disperse the arrowroot evenly into the hot consommé, stirring gently to thicken it into a smooth liaison (bound consistency). Prepare the whiting bread à la crème and cut it into garnish pieces of your choice — rounds, cubes, or lozenges as preferred. Separately, poach the whole-grain rice in salted water until tender and each grain remains intact. Add both the whiting bread pieces and the poached rice to the consommé just before service.
