Brandade de morue

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1.00 garlic clove; peeled
2.00 pounds salt cod fillets; soaked in milk
1 for two days and drained
4.00 cup olive oil
1¼ cup milk; at room temperature
1 juice of one lemon
1 freshly-ground white pepper; to taste
12.00 slice french bread -; (1/2 thick)
1 oil; for frying
1 salt; to taste
1 freshly-ground black pepper; to taste

Directions

Preheat the fryer. Pound the garlic in a mortar. Add the codfish and pound both to a soft paste. At this point, start incorporating the olive oil a scant teaspoonful at a time, alternating with drops of milk without ever ceasing to stir rapidly; the brandade gains in fine texture through rapid stirring. If it becomes too thick, add more oil and milk. Complete the seasoning by adding a few drops of lemon juice and white pepper. A brandade should have the consistency of mashed potatoes (which it looks like). Fry the slices of bread in the hot oil until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the brandade with the fried bread. This recipe yields 6 servings.
