A great standby to have in the fridge for when people call in, pop some sourdough bread in the toaster and you have a very impressive snack to serve.
Hope you enjoy….
Salt cod pate and toasted sourdough
Ingredients
1 side cod, skinned, pin boned and cut into smaller pieces
2 leeks, washed well and sliced

2 onions
4 cloves garlic
750ml cream
Salt and pepper
Method
1. Lightly salt you pieces of cod with sea salt and set aside.
2. In a large non-stick pan, sweat your diced onion, sliced garlic and leeks with 100g butter. Cook until soft without color then add your diced potatoes. Continue cooking then add your pieces of cod and cover with cream.
3. Bring to boil then reduce the heat and simmer until reduced and thickens. Be sure to stir regularly to prevent from sticking and burning.
