BRANDADE ON POPPY SEED CRACKERS

Yield Makes about 60 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound choice-grade skinless boneless salt cod
1 large russet (baking) potato
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 bay leaf (not California)
1 fresh thyme sprig
1 whole clove
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Poppy seed crackers
Garnish: celery leaves

Steps:

  • Rinse cod well to remove external salt. Cover with cold water by 2 inches in a bowl and soak, chilled, changing water 3 times, about 24 hours.
  • Peel potato and cut into 1-inch pieces. Put in a 2-quart saucepan with salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and simmer potato until very tender, about 15 minutes. (Do not drain until ready to whip.)
  • While potato is cooking, bring cream to a simmer with garlic, bay leaf, thyme, and clove in a very small heavy saucepan, then simmer gently, partially covered, until garlic is tender, about 15 minutes. Discard bay leaf, thyme, and clove and purée garlic with cream in a blender until smooth.
  • Meanwhile, drain cod and transfer to another 2-quart saucepan with water to cover. Bring just to a simmer and remove from heat. (Cod will just flake; do not boil or it will become tough.)
  • Drain cod and potatoes in a colander and, while still warm, combine in a large bowl with cream mixture. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed until combined well. Add oil in a slow stream, beating, and season with salt and white pepper. Top crackers with warm brandade just before serving.

Tips:

  • Activate the poppy seeds: Soaking the poppy seeds in hot water for 10 minutes before using enhances their flavor and aroma.
  • Use high-quality butter: Opt for unsalted butter with a fat content of at least 82% for a rich, buttery flavor.
  • Chill the dough: Refrigerating the dough for at least 30 minutes makes it easier to handle and prevents the crackers from spreading too much during baking.
  • Roll the dough evenly: Use a rolling pin with guides to ensure the dough is rolled out to a uniform thickness, resulting in evenly baked crackers.
  • Score the dough: Before baking, use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to score the dough into desired shapes. This helps the crackers break apart cleanly.
  • Bake at a high temperature: Baking the crackers at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) creates crispy, golden-brown crackers.
  • Let the crackers cool completely: Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying. This helps them crisp up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These delightful poppy seed crackers offer a unique and flavorful twist to the classic snack. With their irresistible crunch, nutty poppy seed flavor, and hints of lemon and salt, they are sure to become a favorite in your household. Whether you enjoy them on their own, pair them with your favorite cheese or spread, or use them as a base for canapés, these crackers are versatile and always a crowd-pleaser. So gather your ingredients, follow the simple steps provided, and indulge in the deliciousness of homemade poppy seed crackers. Happy baking!
