Brandade De Morue  
1
2
Garlic clove; peeled  
Pound Salt cod fillets; soaked in milk  
For two days and drained  
4
1
Cup Olive oil  
1/4 Cup Milk; at room temperature  
Juice of one lemon  
Freshly−ground white pepper; to taste  
1
2 Slice French bread −; (1/2" thick)  
Oil; for frying  
Salt; to taste  
Freshly−ground black pepper; to taste  
Preheat the fryer. Pound the garlic in a mortar. Add the codfish and pound  
both to a soft paste. At this point, start incorporating the olive oil a  
scant teaspoonful at a time, alternating with drops of milk without ever  
ceasing to stir rapidly; the brandade gains in fine texture through rapid  
stirring. If it becomes too thick, add more oil and milk. Complete the  
seasoning by adding a few drops of lemon juice and white pepper. A brandade  
should have the consistency of mashed potatoes (which it looks like). Fry  
the slices of bread in the hot oil until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.  
Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the  
brandade with the fried bread. This recipe yields 6 servings.
