  • Preparation: 1450 min
  • Cooking: 20 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (86.3 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Pescatarian, Gluten-free, Low carb
  • Contains: dairy, fish

Ingredients

  • 20 g Salt cod
  • 40 g Olive oil
  • 20 g Milk, whole
  • 3 g Garlic, raw
  • 3 g Parsley, fresh
  • 0.3 g Black pepper

Method

  1. Soak the salt cod in several changes of cold water in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to remove as much salt as possible; it stays a naturally salty ingredient, so a small piece whips up into a generous amount of dip. Drain.
  2. Poach the cod gently in fresh water for 15-20 minutes until it flakes easily; drain well and remove any skin and bones.
  3. While still warm, beat the cod vigorously with a wooden spoon (or in a stand mixer), gradually working in the olive oil in a thin stream, alternating with the milk, until it turns pale, light and fluffy.
  4. Stir in the crushed garlic, parsley and pepper.
  5. Serve at room temperature, traditionally spooned onto grilled bread.
