Brandade is traditionally made with stockfish. Using cod is less complicated and requires less getting used to.

Peel and roughly chop the potatoes. Finely dice the shallots and sauté them with the crushed garlic in olive oil. Pour in the wine and stock and cook until soft. Cut the cod into pieces and cook in the stock. Set aside 200 ml of stock and drain the rest. Purée the potato and fish mixture with the stock (do not use a blender!), season with lemon juice, pepper, and a little salt. When serving, garnish with plenty of good olive oil, olive pieces, and chervil.
