Cod Steaks on a Bed of Creamy Leeks, Potato and Bacon image

This dish was inspired by papet vaudois, a typical dish from the French-speaking part of Switzerland, which has a big fat sausage on the top instead of cod steaks and no bacon. I haven't tried this yet but wanted to save here for safekeeping. I got this from www.jill.net

Time 49m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cod steaks, about 1 inch thick
500 g leeks, prepared weight, cut into rounds
1 onion, chopped
3 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
5 slices bacon, chopped
100 ml stock
100 ml white wine
3 tablespoons cream
flour (for dredging)
butter, oil
2 wedges lemons

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon over a medium heat with no extra fat until it's starting to go crispy and lots of fat has run off into the pan.
  • Add the leeks and onion, stir them around and cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Throw in the potatoes, stock and wine, season lightly with salt and black pepper, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • In the meantime, wash and dry the cod steaks, and dredge them in flour with salt and pepper.
  • When the leeks have had their 20 minutes, melt some butter in a non-stick frying pan with a little bit of oil. When it's hot, put in the cod steaks and cook them over a medium-high heat for five minutes on each side. Keep cooking the leeks in the meantime.
  • Just before serving, stir a few tablespoons of cream into the leeks and check the seasoning.
  • Pile the creamy leeks onto the plates, and pop the cod steaks on top with a wedge of lemon.

I added some chopped fresh parsley to the sauce and it really brightened up the flavor. I also served the dish with a side of lemon wedges, which was a nice touch.

I accidentally used heavy cream instead of milk in the sauce. It was still delicious, but it was a bit too thick. I'll definitely use milk next time.

I'm not a big fan of leeks, so I used onions instead. The dish was still very good, but I think I'll try it with leeks next time.

I had some trouble finding cod steaks, so I used tilapia instead. It turned out great! The tilapia was flaky and the sauce was creamy and flavorful.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the cod was a bit greasy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
