This cod timbale is very quick to prepare and works very well for a dinner with friends. You will need a plating ring, but if you don’t have one, you can make it with an empty tomato sauce can, for example. Keep reading and discover the steps to learn how to cook this cod recipe.
Ingredients to make Cod Timbale:
- 250 grams of salted cod
- 2 units of Potato
- ½ unit of Lemon
- 2 splashes of olive oil
- 5 units of red piquillo peppers
- 1 pinch of Maldon salt
- 2 tablespoons of Mayonnaise
How to make Cod Timbale:
- To prepare this easy fish recipe you can use both shredded cod and fillets, but I do advise you to buy it already salted to simplify. You can replace the mayonnaise with tomato sauce, if you prefer, while the red peppers are from the piquillo, although you can also use homemade roasted red peppers.
- We start by boiling the peeled and chopped potatoes to make a thick mashed potato, which will become the base of the cod timbale.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan and fry the cod; a few minutes will be enough.
- We leave the cod ready in the pan and we have just prepared the mashed potatoes. Mash the cooked potatoes with a fork; add a splash of oil and the juice of half a lemon and a little Maldon salt.
- We can now begin to plate this attractive code recipe. For this, we need a plating ring; I have made it with a waffle tube, although you can also use a can of tomato sauce. At the base of the cod timbale we have the mashed potatoes.
- Cover the mashed potatoes with a layer of red piquillo peppers, which we will have previously drained and cut into strips.
- On the peppers, we have the chopped cod, which we crown with a tablespoon of mayonnaise, or tomato sauce according to our tastes.
- Carefully remove the plating ring, decorate the cod timbale with a parsley or cilantro leaf and we can serve it. Let yourself be amazed by the combination of textures and temperatures (the hot puree, the cold peppers and the warm cod).
