Brandade de Morue Provençale
Also known as: Brandade de morue
French salt-cod and potato brandade with garlic, olive oil and a breadcrumb crust.
About Brandade de Morue Provençale
This brandade is the potato-and-cod gratin version described by Michel Dumas. It selects the source’s traditional dried-salt-cod option, rather than his freshly salted cod variation.
Garlic and olive oil give the fish-and-potato mixture a rich savoury flavour. Bay leaves and black pepper provide aroma, with the cod remaining the central flavour.
The filling is rustic and soft, retaining fish fibres and small potato pieces beneath a golden breadcrumb topping. It is served hot, with toasted bread as a separate accompaniment.
