brandade
Provençal fish spread
Brandade is a Provençal dish of salt cod pounded with olive oil and usually garlic into a thick, creamy purée.
Sometimes potato or cream is added.
It's served warm as a spread or dip, typically with bread or croutons: We started with brandade and a glass of white wine.
