Red Potatoes terrine with cod and Savoy cabbage

 Red Potatoes terrine with cod and Savoy cabbage

In the end, Elke did let me prepare some fish last friday ... and during the boring working friday my mind started thinking what to prepare and I ended up to try something new. A mix between a potato gateau and a cod terrine. I have to admit that we had some left-over boiled Savoy cabbage in the freezer, which saved me some time. But apart from that ... this dish takes some energy and I was worried it would not taste that nicely.

The result is surprisingly nice. Surely better than it looks. Also eaten the day after (of course, warmed up) was good! Again not a fancy dish, but more of a countryside one. I guess more of an english-belgian-dutch style than french-italian ... but who cares. I have also the suspicion that baccala (or baccalao) would be even a better choice here. I wish I could find it ...

And now back to enjoying the Sunday. This week-end no cooking for me ... but Elke does everything and today I am getting a lasagna (this one). Hurrah!!!

wow this is just bursting with my fav ingredients ... pecorino, almond powder, cod and potatoes ... cabbage too! I'm sure when presented at the table it must've turned quite a few heads.

Thanks Kate!!!

We did like it a lot. I guess you would like also the experiment I will attempt this friday (if I find the fish) something like a cod and pecorino souffle. If i works ... you will see it here ;-)

Il tuo tortino è veramente invitante! gnam!
Volevo dirti che il meme che mi avevi passato sett scorsa sta facendo il giro dei blog francofoni e sta piacendo molto, le associazioni proposte sono interessanti:) invece, sono stata taggata da un altro piccolo meme (facilissimo anche questo, a dire il vero m'è piaciuto meno del precedente, ma ho comunque partecipato) ed ora sta a me passarlo ad altri 5.. tra cui tu, se vorrai partecipare. Vai a vedere il mio ultimo post :) A presto,
Silvia

Valentina - i formaggi li avete assaggiati? E i primi? Io se potessi ci tornerei anche subito li!!

Silvia passo subito! Negli ultimi giorni sono stato un poco pigro e ho visitato poco i varu blog (altro per la testa).

Sooooo sorry Francesco!!!!!! Is baccala the salty version of cod? Here we have shops called Pesca salada or salazones... here you find cod preserved in salt.
In catalan is called bacallà and in spanish bacalao... that's why I wondered.
thanks :D
