Time 12h30m

Yield 4 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound boneless and skinless salt cod, cut into 6 pieces
1 pound Idaho potatoes
2 small onions, peeled and stuck with 2 cloves
1 bay leaf
2 parsley sprigs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch cayenne pepper
Freshly ground white pepper to taste
Salt if needed
1 black truffle, minced (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the cod in a dish and add cold water to cover. Let stand 12 hours, changing the water often.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut into large cubes. Put in a saucepan with water to cover and simmer about 20 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, drain the cod and transfer it to a large saucepan. Cover with water and add the onions, bay leaf and parsley sprigs. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 3 minutes or until the fish is cooked and flaky. Drain well, and discard onions and bay leaf. Carefully remove the bones and skin if necessary.
  • In another saucepan blend the milk and cream. Warm over low heat. Warm the oil in yet another saucepan.
  • Combine the potatoes and garlic in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat at low speed. Add the cod and beat at medium-high speed.
  • Alternately add the milk mixture and the warm oil until they are all used. Beat in the nutmeg, cayenne and white pepper. Add salt only if needed.
  • Scatter chopped truffles over the dish for color and flavor. Serve warm with toasted French bread.

The texture of this mousse was a bit grainy for my liking, but the flavor was good. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This mousse was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was good. I think I would reduce the amount of salt cod next time.

I've tried many salt cod mousse recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of cream cheese gives it a rich and creamy texture, and the lemon zest adds a nice brightness. I highly recommend this recipe!
