SALTED-COD PUDDING
COD-PUDDING - A rich pudding with salt cod, eggs, and milk
This was cooked on a TV program a few days ago and is very
nice.
INGREDIENTS (Serves 4 people)
1 lb salted cod
1/4 cup rice
1 1/4 cups
milk
3 large eggs
butter
PROCEDURE
(1) Preheat oven to 400 deg. F.
(2) Boil the salted cod until fully cooked. Take it
out of the water and leave to cool.
(3) Skin the fish, debone it and make a stew out of it
in a bowl, not adding anything.
(4) Boil the rice and mix it with the fish in the bowl
to make a good mixture.
(5) Beat the eggs and mix it with the milk.
(6) Put the fish/rice mixture in a heat-resistant dish
in which you have spread the butter. Pour the
milk/egg mixture over it and put it in the oven
for 40 minutes.
NOTES
Icelandic saltfish is mostly exported to Spain, Portugal,
and Italy, where it is used in Christmas main dishes. Here
in Iceland we just boil it, and usually eat it with boiled
potatoes and boiled turnips, cut in pieces. As the fish is
a bit dry we use butter with it, and sometimes brown bread.
If you cannot get salt cod, you can make your own by salting
a cod fillet and leaving it in the salt, refrigerated, for 3
or 4 days, then wash thoroughly.
RATING
Difficulty: easy. Time: 20 minutes preparation, 40 minutes
baking. Precision: approximate measurement OK.
