Throw away garlic and bouquet garni.

- NOTES: Brandade de morue is a renowned Provencal dish of pounded salt cod, pureed potatoes, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lowfat milk, and cream. The dish's name is derived from the French Provencal verb brandar, meaning to stir, and morue, French for cod. There are as many versions of brandade de morue as there are chefs-some must have garlic while others might shy from the potatoes.
- Balthazar's chef Riad Nasr shares his recipe for this delicious dish.
- Salt cod is dry cod fish cured in salt. Frzn before processing, the fish is left whole-complete with skin and bones, that contributes to its intense flavor. Because of the large amount of salt used in the preserving process, salt cod must be soaked for hrs, with many changes of water, to remove the salt and rehydrate the fish before cooking. The best-quality dry salt cod should appear ivory, almost yellow-colored, with green flecks. It should be pliable and not board-stiff. Once rehydrated, salt cod's appearance will resemble which of fresh fish.
