Salt cod brandade is a mainstay of Mediterranean mezze and a perfect party dip in winter months. Serve with plenty of crusty bread.

Method


  1. Put the milk, lemon zest and garlic into a saucepan. Bring to the boil over a medium heat. Remove from the heat, add the fish and set aside for 15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked.

  2. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes and celeriac in a pan of salted boiling water, for 5-10 minutes, or until tender. Drain.

  3. Mash the potato and celeriac, then beat in the butter, olive oil and enough of the poaching liquor to make a smooth mash.

  4. Remove the fish from the pan. Chop half of the fish and beat it into the potato mixture; flake the remaining fish.

  5. Spoon the brandade into a bowl, top with the flakes of cod and sprinkle over the parsley.
