Milk-cooked salt cod with onion, mashed potatoes and a gratinated garlic mayonnaise topping.
About Bacalhau à Zé do Pipo
Filipa Gomes presents bacalhau à Zé do Pipo as a dish with northern Portuguese character. Cod sits at the centre of the baking dish, with softened onions over it and mashed potatoes arranged around the fish.
Milk from cooking the cod enriches the potato mash and onion mixture. Butter and nutmeg season the mash, while garlic and lemon flavour a freshly made mayonnaise.
The assembled fish, onions and potatoes are covered with mayonnaise and dotted with black olives. Baking gratinates the topping, completing the layered combination of fish, creamy potato and golden sauce.
