Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound salt cod, cut into pieces
1 pound potatoes, peeled
2 cloves garlic, minced (green part removed)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup hot milk
Freshly ground white pepper to taste
Triangles of bread fried in olive oil

Steps:

  • One day ahead, soak the salt cod overnight in cold water to cover, changing the water several times. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
  • On the day of serving, boil the potatoes until they are tender. Poach the salt cod in fresh cold water to cover for 15 minutes. Drain, rinse and remove any pieces of skin or bone.
  • Combine the potatoes, salt cod and garlic in a food processor. Puree until smooth. Gently heat the olive oil in a small pan. With the machine running, slowly add the hot oil through the funnel, then the hot milk. Season to taste with white pepper. Place the puree in a gratin dish.
  • Just before serving, put the puree under a preheated broiler and brown lightly. Serve with fried bread triangles.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I would have preferred a simpler recipe with fewer ingredients.

The potatoes were a bit too firm for my liking. I think I would have preferred them to be mashed until they were completely smooth.

This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a different type of fish, such as salmon or trout.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper. I also would have liked to see some more herbs or spices added to the puree.

This dish was absolutely delicious, but it was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cream and milk. Otherwise, it was perfect.

I love how versatile this dish is. You can serve it as an appetizer, main course, or even a side dish. It's also great for make-ahead meals. I often make a big batch on the weekend and then reheat it throughout the week.

I'm not a huge fan of salt cod, but I found that the flavor was much milder in this dish than I expected. The creamy potato puree really helped to balance it out. Overall, I thought this was a very enjoyable dish.

I've made brandade de morue a few times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of the milk and cream really makes the puree extra creamy and smooth. I also love the hint of garlic and nutmeg.
