Method

Place the salt cod in a large bowl of cold water.

Soak for 24 hours, changing the water several times.

When the fish has completely rehydrated it is ready for the next step.

Poach the cod in plain water for 25 minutes or until it flakes easily when tested.

Drain and break it into pieces.

Cook the onion in olive oil over low heat until translucent.

In a food processor, purée the cod, onion and garlic with half of the olive oil.

With the motor running add the milk or cream, rest of the oil, lemon juice and pepper.

Blend until smooth.

If it is too thick, thin with milk or cream.
