Bacalao image

This dish is rich and not salty at all. Bacalao is delicious when made into fritters, coated with bread crumbs and deep-fried, or served stuffed into a roasted sweet pepper. Angela Tamura, ZuZu's chef, prepares it more simply, accompanying it with a crispy garlic crostini. Bacalao is served at ZuZu for $8.00. This recipe is meant to serve two as an appetizer, I think it would be great with soup and a salad! The cod has to be soaked overnight and the water must be changed an average of two times.It is served with garlic-rubbed, toasted olive "oiled" crostini! (I am sure you at least got my drift!)

  • Bring the saucepan to a boil and allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
  • In a separate pan, place the potato and cover with cold water, simmer until the potato is soft, and drain placing through a potato ricer or mash them lightly.
  • Heat the cream together with the butter in a separate pan until the butter has melted.
  • Remove the fish from the liquid and place it in a small food processor.

  • Combine the mixture in the food processor with the potato, add the truffle oil and mix well using a rubber spatula or spoon.
  • Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. (Do not mix the potato together with the fish using the food processor or the mixture will become starchy.).
