Brandade de Morue

Salt cod pounded with olive oil, garlic, and milk into a warm, creamy Provençal purée.

By Keith Floyd

Floyd on Fish took him to the salt cod country of the Mediterranean, where brandade is made by working soaked cod with oil until it turns pale and soft. It is rich, salty, and best eaten with toast and a sharp salad.

Cooking Instructions

  1. Soak the salt cod in cold water for a day, changing the water several times, then drain it and simmer it gently until it flakes.

  2. Boil the potatoes until tender, peel them, and mash them while still hot.

  3. Flake the cod, discarding skin and bone, and pound it with the garlic in a mortar or beat it with a wooden spoon.

  4. Work in the olive oil a little at a time, alternating with warm milk, until the mixture is creamy. Fold in the potato, season, and serve warm with lemon and toast.
