Description

Brazilian recipe for a beautiful fish dip made with salt cod and lots of olive oil. Serve it with breadsticks or toast as an inexpensive yet delicious starter for a dinner party, or as a yummy party dip.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound dried salted cod
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • salt and ground white pepper to taste
Directions
  1. 1. Soak cod in a large bowl of water in the refrigerator for 24 hours, changing soaking water 4 to 5 times to remove the salt.
  2. 2. Rinse the cod under running water; drain. Remove skin and bones.
  3. 3. Transfer cod to a saucepan and cover with water. Heat over low heat until it is soft and flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Drain cod and let cool until easily handled, about 15 minutes. Shred finely and transfer to a large saucepan.
  4. 4. Place saucepan over low heat. Pour in olive oil in a slow, steady stream, beating vigorously, until mixture thickens to the consistency of mayonnaise, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, parsley, salt, and white pepper. Let cool before serving, about 15 minutes.
