Iceni Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Suggest that you Google "recipe for dried salted cod" - there may be something in the 67,100 hits.Johnedit - "recipe for bacalau" will give you 28,300 hits - though some of these will be duplicates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Not French, but this is a traditional Norwegian way of cooking it: http://www.sofn.com/norwegian_culture/showRecipe.jsp?document=Lutefisk.html Non-American speakers should be aware that 'lye' is known in England as sodium hydroxide, or caustic soda.

osie Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I did one a while back and almost od'd on the salt... make sure you soak it well.This may sound a bit contrare but I have never seen the point of the salted stuff when you can get it fresh... However, it may be just me.At 40ish euros/ kg, I am sure stockfish must have something very nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 According to Elizabeth David prepare the cod first by soaking in cold water for at least 12 hours, rinse it then put it in a pan of fresh cold water, bring slowly to the boil then remove it at once from the fire.She gives a few recipes, one is with home made tomato sauce. "Take your soaked cod, scale it, cut it into square pieces, roll them in flour and fry them in deep olive oil until golden. Drain, then add to the sauce and cook another 10 mins."Another one , a bit like a pie or stew: put the pieces of prepared cod in a baking dish between two layers of chopped parsley, garlic , onion and shallots, some oil and butter.Cover with breadcrumbs and little nuts of butter and bake for an hour.The last one sounds as if it would be good for ordinary white fish too.

Clair Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 From experience, I would suggest changing the water at least twice during the soaking stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
