(Potato and cod pudding - Our recipe)

Time: preparation: 30 minutes ........ cooking: about 80 minutes 800 g (1 ¾ lb) fresh cod fillets 1,1 kg (2 ½ lb) potatoes 1 egg 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese 1 aromatic bunch (bouquet garni) formed by parsley, basil and chives Salt easy recipe

  Spoon measures are American spoons, that is standard cook's measuring spoons used in USA.
  The best plan is to regard 2 American teaspoons or tablespoons as 1 English teaspoon or tablespoon (eating spoons)

Steam your potatoes.
Meanwhile clean, wash and pat dry with absorbent kitchen paper your fresh herbs. Cut your cod into big pieces; purée it together with the egg and aromatic herbs.
When the potatoes are cooked, peel and mash them.
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Mix the fish with potatoes and Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and stir again. If your mixture is too soft, add other Parmesan cheese.
Spoon the mixture into a silicone deep pudding tin. If you haven't got such tin, oil a pudding tin and sprinkle dry breadcrumbs inside before placing your mixture. Level the surface and bake until the surface becomes golden.
Serve your pudding warm after turning it upside down on a serving plate.
