Morue Et Sa Puree Salt Cod And Mashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• One day ahead, soak the salt cod overnight in cold water to cover, changing the water several times. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
• On the day of serving, boil the potatoes until they are tender. Poach the salt cod in fresh cold water to cover for 15 minutes. Drain, rinse and remove any pieces of skin or bone.
• Combine the potatoes, salt cod and garlic in a food processor. Puree until smooth. Gently heat the olive oil in a small pan. With the machine running, slowly add the hot oil through the funnel, then the hot milk. Season to taste with white pepper. Place the puree in a gratin dish.
• Just before serving, put the puree under a preheated broiler and brown lightly. Serve with fried bread triangles.

Steps:

• Prepare the cod.
• Soak the fish in water for at least 24 and preferably 48 hours, changing the water three to four times each day.
• Drain fish, rinse well.
• Steam potatoes until done, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Pour wine and three cups of water into a nonreactive skillet with sides at least four inches high.
• Add bay leaves, thyme, peppercorns and the cod (broken into several pieces.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Reduce heat to medium and allow to simmer until fish flakes easily if lifted with a flat-ended spatula (about 20 minutes).
• Drain the potatoes and mash with the butter until smooth, seasoning with sea salt to taste and plenty of fresh ground pepper.
• Place potatoes in a wide, shallow serving platter and keep hot.
• Remove fish from broth and flake over the top of the potatoes.
• Mince the parsley and garlic together.
• Sprinkle the potato/fish with the garlic and parsley mixture.
• Heat olive oil in a small saute pan over medium heat until oil is very hot and pour hot oil over the parsley and garlic which will sizzle and steam.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Put the potatoes in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Roast for 20 minutes. Stir and roast for 10 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, rinse the cod fillets and pat them dry with paper towels.
• After the 30 minutes of roasting, move the potatoes to the sides of the pan and place the fillets in the center. Drizzle with the remaining oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper, adding the red pepper flakes if using. Redistribute the potatoes around the fillets. Add garlic if using at this point. Stir.
• Distribute oil (in pan with potatoes) over cod filets on both sides using a paint brush or paper towel, adding lemon pepper seasoning on both sides.
• Roast until the fillets are the same color throughout and flake easily, about 10 minutes. Top with the lemon zest and chives.
• Tip: Serve this roasted version of fish and chips with ketchup for the youngsters and malt vinegar for the party of adults!

Steps:

• Soak the salt cod in lots of cold water for at least 24 hours, changing the water every 4-6 hours to remove the salt. Salt cod varies in its saltiness, and some may need as much as 48 hours to soak. Do not skimp on the soaking, because I don't know how to remove the salt later in the recipe!
• When you are ready to cook the stew, soften the onion and garlic in the olive oil.
• When soft, add the tinned tomatoes, fresh cherry tomatoes and herbes de provence.
• Drain the salt cod, rinsing well, and squeezing out all the water.
• Add the cod to the saucepan with the tomato mixture, and stir well.
• Cover the pan and simmer for 20 minutes until the fish is nearly cooked.
• Add the courgettes (zucchini), chilli flakes, fennel seeds, chopped capers and black pepper.
• Turn up the heat and boil until the courgettes (zucchini) are cooked and the liquid has mostly evaporated, leaving a stew -like consistency. This took me about 20 minutes.
• Stir in the shredded basil leaves, then serve the fish stew immediately with mashed potatoes or polenta.

Steps:

• Soak the fish in cold water for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Change the water at least 3 times during the soaking.
• Remove the fish from the water and rinse well.
• Place it in a saucepan filled with fresh cold water and set it over medium-high heat.
• Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
• Drain the fish and let stand until cool enough to handle.
• Combine the breadcrumbs and milk in a small bowl and let soak.
• Using a fork, flake the fish, removing any bones, into a large bowl.
• Add the bread crumb mixture, the potatoes, butter, pepper, and hot pepper sauce.
• Mix until well combined.
• Form the mixture into 2 1/2-inch cakes.
• Heat half the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook until the cakes are browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Place cod fillets in the bottom of a 8x8x2 buttered oven dish.Place dish on a cookie sheet pan because there will be sauce that escapes and runs down the outside of the casserole dish.
• Make a cheese sauce by mixing 2 oz each of butter and flour, 1/2 liter of milk and 3 1/2 oz grated cheese cook till slightly thickened: pour over fish.
• Top with mashed potatoes sprinkle grated cheese over them and dot with butter.
• Bake in a hot oven (450 F) for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown.
• Optional -- I just made this again and put in 2 sliced scallions into the cheese sauce after it was cooked{step #2}.Garnish with scallions.
• Optional -- 1/2- 1 cup peeled and deviened Shrimp added unto the fish gives some added flavor as well!

Steps:

• If using salt-cod, cut into 4 pieces and reconstitute as described in the Introduction; don't drain or dry the fish when done.
• If using fresh fish (4 steaks), rinse, lightly salt, and leave in a colander for 1-2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium-size (at least 10-12 inch diameter) frying pan, warm up the olive oil, then add the onions to sautee for about 30 minutes; you want golden, not brown, and soft; this is a basic cebollata (see Intro).
• Keep the cebollata warm (lowest stove top setting).
• Prepare the cabbage by trimming and removing four of the largest and most perfect outside leaves; cut out the thick, stiff stem at the base of each leaf.
• Use a heavy knife to flatten the leaves and make them more pliable.
• Shred the heart of the cabbage and set it aside for now.
• Wrap each of the 4 pieces of fish in a cabbage leaf.
• Lay the wrapped fish on a baking tray, put in the oven, and bake for 20-30 minutes, "until the wrappers are as dry and brown as tobacco leaves".
• While the fish are cooking, prepare the potatoes as follows:.
• Put a medium-sized covered pan (big enough to hold the potatoes and the shredded cabbage) on the stove top and put in the potatoes.
• Add the wine and enough water to cover and cook (medium heat) for about 10 minutes.
• Remove the cover, add the shredded cabbage, and cover tightly to let the cabbage steam (turn up the heat a bit if necessary).
• Cook until the potatoes are tender, probably a total of 15-20 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes and cabbage with a slotted spoon to your serving dish.
• Add the cooking juices from the potato/cabbage pot into the cebollata in the frying pan, taste and season, then increase the heat to reduce the liquid until you have a thick rich sauce.
• Pour the sauce over the potato and cabbage base.
• Remove the fish from the oven, place them on the potato and cabbage base and open the wrappers.
• Optionally, garnish with parsley and piri piri.
• Enjoy!
