Hoy os he preparado un aperitivo que es una sorpresa para el comensal, brandada envuelta en pasta filo y en forma de bombón.Los he acompañado de una ensalada variada regada con un buen aceite de oliva virgen extra.Es aconsejable servirlos recién fritos, crujientes y calientes.
I bring you today an apetizer that surely will surprise our guets, cod brandade wrapped in filo paste that looks like little bombons. This time I´ve accompained it with a varied salad with an extra virgin olive oil dressing. I recommend serving them just after frying, crunchy and hot.

La brandada es un plato de invierno tradicionalmente preparado por hombres y no
mujeres. Se trata de una emulsión, antiguamente machacada al mortero
(ahora se hace también con batidora), en la que se monta, como para
hacer una mahonesa,bacalao levemente hervido y aceite de oliva.
A veces se añade un poco del agua de cocción del bacalao. En esta
cocción, se ha podido añadir laurel y cebolla además del bacalao y de
agua. La brandada final se puede condimentar con pimienta, ajo y perejil picados, y siempre necesita una rectificación de sal al final. Se suele
comer con pan tostado o con patatas cocidas (hervidas o a la brasa) con
su piel y partidas por la mitad.
Brandade is a dish that was traditionally prepared in Winter season and curiosly it used to be made by men. It´s an emulsion so it was made in the mortar ( nowadays we use an electric mixer insteed ). It´s similar to the mayonnaise preparation, we need to whip slightly boiled cod and olive oil. We can add a little bit of the water we have used to cook the cod, this water can be enriched with bay and onion. It´s seasoned with pepper, garlic and minced parsley, and we have to adjust the salt. It goes with toasted bread or boiled or roasted unpeeled potatoes in two halfs.

Lo primero que vamos a hacer es preparar el bacalao.Lo cortamos en trozos grandes y quitamos las posibles espinas que pueda tener.
First thing we are going to do is prepare the cod. Cut it in big pieces, and remove all the fish bones.

Ponemos aceite en un cazo y doramos un poco los ajos, yo le puse también una guindilla para darle mas aroma.Retiramos los ajos y dejamos enfriar el aceite un poco.Añadimos el bacalao limpio y dejamos confitar unos minutos.Retiramos del fuego y dejamos enfriar.
Put some olive oil in a saucepan and fry the garlic cloves, I added a chilli pepper to give it more flavour. Take it out the garlic cloves and let it cool for a while. Add the clean cod and let it cook low heat for a few minutes. Turn off the heat and let it cool.
