Brandade-Stuffed Piquillo Peppers image

You will need to soak the cod for a full day, so plan ahead. Piquillo peppers, spicy-sweet red peppers from northern Spain that have been roasted and peeled, can be found in specialty-food stores and some supermarkets.

Yield Makes 16 to 20

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound salt cod
1 small onion, halved
2 bay leaves
1 medium russet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
6 tablespoons heavy cream
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
16 to 20 whole drained roasted canned or jarred piquillo peppers (about 1/2 ounce each)
2 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Rinse cod under cold water. Place in a large bowl, and cover with cold water. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 24 hours, changing water every 8 hours.
  • Drain cod. Transfer to a medium saucepan, and cover with water. Add onion and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Add potato, and cook until cod is easily flaked with a fork and potato is tender, about 20 minutes more. Drain well; discard onion and bay leaves.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Put cod, potato, 6 tablespoons oil, and the cream into a medium bowl. Mash together with a fork until mixture forms a chunky puree; season with salt and pepper. Cod mixture can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.
  • Transfer mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a coupler, and fill each pepper. Transfer to a baking dish large enough to hold peppers in a single layer. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and sprinkle with garlic slices. Cover with foil, and bake until heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately, drizzled with oil if desired.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I used mild piquillo peppers. It was still very flavorful.
