 Baked Cod with Cream Recipe 😊🍹🍷

Ingredients:

500g of desalted and shredded cod

500g of potatoes cut into small cubes

1 large onion, thinly sliced

3 cloves of minced garlic

400ml of cream (fresh cream)

50g of butter

2 tablespoons of wheat flour

500ml of milk

Olive oil for sautéing

Nutmeg to taste

Salt and black pepper to taste

Grated cheese for gratinating

Chopped parsley to finish

Preparation method:

Preparing the cod: If the cod is salted, soak it in water for 24 hours, changing the water several times. Then, shred the cod and set aside.

Frying the potatoes: Fry the diced potatoes until golden and soft. Drain and set aside.

Cod stew: In a pan, heat a little olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until golden. Add the shredded cod and mix well for a few minutes.

White sauce: Melt the butter in another pan, add the flour and stir well for 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until you get a thick, lump-free sauce. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Finally, mix the cream into the white sauce.

Assembly: In a greased baking dish, spread a layer of French fries, then the sautéed cod and, on top, pour the white sauce with the cream. Mix lightly to integrate the ingredients.

Gratin: Cover with grated cheese and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C until the surface is golden and crispy, about 20 to 30 minutes.

Finishing: After removing from the oven, sprinkle chopped parsley on top and serve hot.

The combination of flavors in this dish is simply irresistible!
