It is Friday! And... We have to eat fish on Friday! So I decided to make "brandade de morue" - Brandade is a purely French specialty of pureed salt cod, but there is some debate over the addition of potatoes. Mine is even worse! I am adding instant mashed potatoes! Oops!
Ingredients:
- 8 oz salt cod, rinsed well - Hen House has some in a small wood container
- 2 cups of instand mashed potatoes
- Milk for mashed potatoes
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced thin
- 1 bay leaf
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil or more depending texture
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- Pepper to taste
Preparation:
1. Soak cod in a big bowl of water overnight.
2. Drain the cod and discard the soaking water.
3. In a separate saucepan, cover the cod with water and bring to a simmer.
4. In the same time, warm the milk and add it to the instant mashed potatoes.
5. Drain the cod and add it, along with the garlic and mashed potatoes, to an electric mixer.
6. Add the warm olive oil to the puree.
7. Add pepper to taste
Served with a salad, garlic bread and of course a nice red wine! Enjoy!
