About Chiquetaille de Morue
Gemma’s chiquetaille de morue combines flaked salt cod with scallion, white onion, garlic and Scotch bonnet pepper. Lime juice and extra virgin olive oil dress the fish, with homemade pikliz folded into the mixture.
The pikliz contributes cabbage, carrot, shallot and thyme, seasoned with vinegar, black pepper and cloves. Green peas are an optional addition to the pickled vegetables.
The fish is broiled before flaking and mixing with the aromatic dressing. The finished chiquetaille is served at room temperature with crusty bread, bringing the moist fish and crisp vegetables together.
