Salt cod:


Risotto with squash and "three kinds of duck" - confit, foie gras, and cracklings. As John might put it, "good solid brown food". LOL.

Well, it might be that you just don't like it, but after this was soaked and chopped I sauteed it with some onions and made it into little potsticker-like dumplings, which tasted fine to me!

It's really quite expensive these days - $20 a pound - and it's not the stuff that's stiff as a board, it comes a bit on the soft side. So this might not be your grandmother's salt cod.

Actually my experience of salt cod is restricted to the portuguese stuff my neighbours use, which always smells like rotting carcass, even if they are across the street behind closed doors you can still smell it. I swear they ferment it. It is waaaaay worse than any durian I've ever smelled.
