Salt Cod Mousse Recipes

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.
