INSTRUCTIONS
Place the salt cod in cold water and soak for 2 to 3 days, changing the
water at least 2 times each day to reduce saltiness. Add milk, water,
garlic, bay leaves, cloves, thyme and parsley sprigs to a sauce pan and add
soaked cod. Liquid should completely cover and allow to sit for at least 30
minutes. In a separate sauce pan, add potatoes to lightly salted boiling
water and simmer until very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Drain cod, reserving poaching liquid and discard bay leaves, cloves and
parsley sprigs. Flake fish and discard any skin, bones or brown spots. In a
food processor or blender, add cod mixture, potatoes, 1/2 cup of the
reserved milk poaching liquid, 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, heavy cream
and process for at least 3 minutes until very smooth and fluffy. Be sure to
occasionally scrape down sides of bowl. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper
and nutmeg. Place mixture in a lightly-oiled baking dish and drizzle top
with remaining olive oil. Place in a preheated 450 degree oven for 20 to 25
minutes or until puffed and top is lightly browned. (You can also place
under the broiler for the last minute or two to brown.) Serve immediately
with plenty of toasted croutes to scoop up the gratin. This recipe yields
?? servings.
