Buttery Cod Dip with cream and nutmeg

This French Dip leans on cream and nutmeg to do the heavy lifting. We smoke the Cod for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

Buttery Cod Dip with cream and nutmeg
Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the cream and nutmeg elements, and pat the cod dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the cod. Cook low with a little smoke until burnished and infused, resting before slicing.

Stir in the creme fraiche and the rest of the cream and nutmeg flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the carrots along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
