Cod and Soubise

Clam and Truffle Potato Leek

Method

Preparing the Cod and Soubise

  1. 1

    Prepare the Leeks

    Trim the leeks, removing the tough dark green tops and the root ends. Slice them thinly and rinse under cold water to remove any dirt.

  2. 2

    Make the Soubise

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Blend until smooth and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Cook the Cod

    Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Cook the cod for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Preparing the Clam and Truffle Potato Leek

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.

  2. 5

    Cook the Clams

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the clams and cover. Cook until the clams open, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any unopened clams.

  3. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In the pot with the clams, add the diced potatoes and thyme. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drizzle with truffle oil and stir gently.

Plating and Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, spoon a generous amount of leek soubise. Top with a cod fillet and surround with the clam and truffle potato leek mixture.

  2. 8

    Add Caviar

    For an upscale touch, add caviar on top of the cod fillet.
