BRANDADE



Brandade image

There are certain things that if I see on a menu, I will almost always order them, and brandade is one of those things. This amazing dish from the south of France can be made many different ways, but it's usually some sort of combination of salt cod, potato, garlic, and olive oil. This should always be baked and eaten piping hot, ideally with some homemade crostini.

1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish and set dish on a baking sheet.

Stir in 1/2 of the olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper until smooth. Add remaining olive oil and blend until smooth. Season with salt. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Spread creme fraiche over the top and score the top with a spoon to create a crisscross surface.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     appetizer

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
1 leek, white part only, cleaned and finely diced
12 ounces cod or scrod fillets, skinned, boned and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons double or heavy cream
1/2 package unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
4 cups ripe cherry tomatoes
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cups fish stock
36 langoustines (or medium shrimps)
3 ounces baby spring greens, washed and dried
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pan. Add the onion and leek and cook, covered, until soft but not browned. Add the cod and cook for 30 seconds. Add 1 cup of the cream, bring to a boil and remove from heat.
  • Soften the gelatin in 2 tablespoons of tepid water. Add 2 tablespoons of the cream mixture, stirring constantly. Add the gelatin mixture to the cream mixture and stir until smooth. Puree in a blender with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, then pass through a chinois or fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl set on ice. Refrigerate to set lightly.
  • Whip 1 cup of cream until it forms soft peaks. Fold the cod mixture into the whipped cream to make a mousse. If the mixture becomes loose in the process, briefly whisk to restore texture. Refrigerate to set, about 2 hours.
  • Puree the tomatoes in a food processor or blender, then push them through a fine-mesh sieve. In a pan over low heat, simmer them for 20 minutes, until reduced by half. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of cream as well as the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter, diced, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season to taste and set aside.
  • Bring the fish stock to a boil in a large pan. Immerse the langoustines in the stock for about 1 minute, turn and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoon. Reserve the stock for another purpose.
  • Toss the greens with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
  • To serve, place a small mound of the greens on each of 6 plates. Form the brandade into neat "footballs" about 1 inches long, using the bowls of 2 teaspoons as a mold. Place 6 of these and 6 langoustines on each plate. Spoon the sauce around them.

Categories     Bread     Cod     Boil

Yield makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound boneless salt cod (bacalao), soaked overnight in several changes of cold water (page 245)
2 garlic cloves, peeled, or to taste
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup heavy cream or milk
Salt and black pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lemon, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place the salt cod in one layer in a skillet or saucepan with water to cover; bring the water to a boil, turn off the heat, and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and pick out any stray bones or pieces of skin.
  • Place the cod in a food processor with the garlic and a couple tablespoons of the olive oil. Start processing and, through the feed tube, add small amounts of olive oil alternating with small amounts of cream. Continue until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and light. (You may not need all of the oil and cream.) Add pepper, some of the lemon juice, and the nutmeg. Blend and taste; the mixture may need a bit of salt and more lemon juice. (You can prepare the dish several hours or even a day ahead to this point; cover and refrigerate until you're ready to eat.)
  • Reheat the brandade if necessary, in a double boiler or in a 300°F oven, covered. Serve with bread, toast, or crackers.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cod, as it can become dry and tough.
  • If you don't have langoustines, you can use other types of seafood, such as shrimp or scallops.
  • The gazpacho sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve the brandade of cod with a garnish of fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
