Procedure without liability: Clean the cod well of blood and the black inner skin, if the cod head is to be used the gills must be removed. Cut off the head and the cod into suitable pieces. Lightly salt the cod pieces for 1 hour before using approx. 1 large tbsp. salt. Put all the root vegetables and spices in a suitably large pot and place the cod pieces on top. Pour in water so that it just covers and ½ cup of vinegar and 1 tbsp. salt. Bring the water quickly to the boil and then turn down the heat so that it just simmers for 15 minutes. Maybe you need to skim off the proteins (the white foam) when broth is used for the sauce. While the sauce is being made, the cod lies in the hot water and soaks - however max. 5 to 10 minutes. Place butter in a saucepan and melt it without browning. Put flour little by little while constant stirring. Stir broth and a little milk/cream in while stirring. Find one - for you - suitable consistency and cook the sauce for a few minutes while stirring. Come 2 tbsp. fish sauce and 100 g fish mustard in and stir it together. It must not boil more as mustard loses its flavor. Small fine potatoes are boiled for 20 minutes in lightly salted water and peel. The man doing the fish and the sauce and the wife pills potatoes, there's work distribution in most homes. Serving: Server the cod with your favorite toppings. I think horseradish and capers are enough for the delicate cod meat. Garnish: Maybe a little green dill over the potatoes. Drinks: A cold beer and a good dram must be the thing. Hints: Real clipfish can be made using the same recipe once the cod is diluted. In Portugal/Spain is made a dish called Bacalhau. See recipe below. There is also another form of dried cod Stockfish.
