Bacalao (salted cod) Mousse | Pjenica od Bakalara

If you don't know what Bacalao is, then let me spell it out for you, it's a salted dried cod. And yes, that doesn’t sound too delicious.

If you use a whole salted cod, then you will need to soak it atleast overnight, if not for a few days and it will need several rinses in cool water before it can be used. So you salt it and then you slowly get rid of all the salt? Yes!

But you can actually buy salted cod in your local deli that is already cut into pieces so that you don't need to skin and debone a whole fish, but you'll still need to do the water baths to get rid of the salt.

This recipe is great for using as a starter if you have a whole fish or packet and don’t want to use the whole thing in a stew. It’s quite a bland mousse, so the addition of horseradish is welcome.

Let me know if you tried this super fish mousse and what you thought?

Dobar Tek! Zivjeli! (Bon Appetit! Cheers and let's live!)
