WHIPPED COD AND POTATOES
• 1lb fresh cod cut into 2” chunks
• 1lb peeled Yukon Gold potatoes, Cut into 1” pieces
• 1½ cups milk
• 1 cup water
• salt and pepper to taste
• 6 cloves garlic
• 2 shallots, minced
• ¼ cup olive oil
• Hot sauce
• 2T butter
• ½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
• Preheat oven to 400
• Place potatoes, garlic, shallots, water and milk in a large saucepan and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat until potatoes are fork tender. Remove saucepan from heat and place cod chunks on top of potatoes. Place back on heat, cover and continue to cook for approximately 10 minutes and potatoes are fully cooked.
• Strain liquid and reserve. Place cod and potato mixture in a large bowl, add half of the butter, olive oil and hot sauce. Using small amounts of cooking liquid at a time mash mixture lightly until fully incorporated but not smooth. Some fish left flaky adds a great texture so don’t mash too vigorously. Allow mixture to come to room temperature.
• Butter oven proof casserole with remaining butter and add cod/ potato mixture, drizzle with olive oil and breadcrumbs. Cook at 400 for approximately 15 minutes or until cod is browned and bubbling. Summer Tomato Vinaigrette on top and serve with toasted olive bread or pumpernickel or whatever your favorite hearty loaf of bread is.
SUMMER TOMATO VINAIGRETTE
• 1 ½T shallots, julienned
• 1 tsp chopped garlic
• Thinly sliced serrano chilies to taste
• 1T red wine vinegar
• 3T extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 cup diced freshest tomatoes possible
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh oregano
• Combine all ingredients except for tomatoes and oregano. Whisk vigorously then add tomatoes, oregano and re-season to taste.
• Toss greens with half of the vinaigrette and spoon the other half over the whipped cod and potatoes. Place greens on top of frittata and shave additional parmesan over the greens.
