'1,080 Recipes': Brandade
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- Salt
- 11 ounces salt cod fillet, soaked 12 hours (change your soaking water at least 4 times and rinse both the fish and the bowl when changing)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- Triangles of toasted bread
- Make olive oil-based Bechamel sauce: Heat the oil in a pan and stir in the flour. Gradually stir in the milk, a little at a time, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add salt to taste and simmer constantly over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Drain the cod and remove any skin and bones and flake the flesh. Put it into a pan, pour in water to cover, and bring just to a boil. Remove pan from the heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain the cod and process to a puree in a food processor or blender. Stir the cod into the bechamel sauce and then stir in the cream, and heat through gently. Serve immediately, garnished with toasted bread triangles.
