Smoked coley brandade recipe - Recipes - BBC Good Food

Put the potatoes in a pan, cover with water, add a pinch of salt and simmer until tender. Drain and keep warm.

In a large pan bring the milk, cream, bay leaf and thyme to the boil. Simmer for five minutes, remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 20 minutes. Bring the mixture back to the boil and add the coley. Reduce the heat and gently poach for 6-8 minutes, depending on how thick the coley is. Be careful not to boil or overcook the fish. Remove from the heat and cool for 10 minutes. Drain the coley, keeping the milk.

Warm 50ml olive oil in a frying pan, then add the garlic and cook until golden. Cool a little. Put the oil, garlic, fish and potato in a food processor. Purée with a little of the cooking milk.

Tip into a bowl then stir in the egg yolks, spring onions and season. Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Divide the mix between 4 x 200ml ovenproof dishes and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve with the baguette slices.
