JUMBO fish stock in a 1 kg tub is a powder to dilute, not a liquid stock or cubes. It is the seasoning for thiéboudienne, fish rice and fish soups. The tub makes 50 litres of stock and carries the manufacturer's halal mention.
What is JUMBO fish stock?
JUMBO is the African brand of the Spanish group GBfoods (formerly Gallina Blanca). This dehydrated stock is made in Spain; its tub also states it in English ("Fish stock"), Portuguese ("Caldo de peixe") and Arabic. The recipe contains 4.5% fish, whose species is not specified by the manufacturer, seasoned with tomato and spices. The taste is salty, marine, backed by the usual flavour enhancers of commercial stocks (including glutamate).
How to use it?
- As a stock: 20 g of powder per litre of water, according to the manufacturer's guide (1 kg for 50 litres).
- In a thiéboudienne or fish rice: a spoonful in the tomato sauce, before adding water and the rice.
- In a fish soup, a court-bouillon or a gombo sauce with smoked fish.
It is very salty: taste before adding salt.
What to pair it with?
For a thiéboudienne: ORCHIDÉE twice-broken rice and DIEG BOU DIAR double tomato concentrate, or our thiéboudienne kit. In the same range: JUMBO chicken stock and smoked shrimp stock. The thiéboudienne recipe is on the blog. The whole smoked, dried or canned fish section.
