Time 12h30m

Yield 4 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound boneless and skinless salt cod, cut into 6 pieces
1 pound Idaho potatoes
2 small onions, peeled and stuck with 2 cloves
1 bay leaf
2 parsley sprigs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch cayenne pepper
Freshly ground white pepper to taste
Salt if needed
1 black truffle, minced (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the cod in a dish and add cold water to cover. Let stand 12 hours, changing the water often.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut into large cubes. Put in a saucepan with water to cover and simmer about 20 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, drain the cod and transfer it to a large saucepan. Cover with water and add the onions, bay leaf and parsley sprigs. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 3 minutes or until the fish is cooked and flaky. Drain well, and discard onions and bay leaf. Carefully remove the bones and skin if necessary.
  • In another saucepan blend the milk and cream. Warm over low heat. Warm the oil in yet another saucepan.
  • Combine the potatoes and garlic in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat at low speed. Add the cod and beat at medium-high speed.
  • Alternately add the milk mixture and the warm oil until they are all used. Beat in the nutmeg, cayenne and white pepper. Add salt only if needed.
  • Scatter chopped truffles over the dish for color and flavor. Serve warm with toasted French bread.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my mousse didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The mousse was a little bland for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.
