Ingredients

A PDO
For 8 personnes
  • 2 limes
  • 300g of cod fillet
  • Olive oil with a subtle flavour
  • 2 shallots
  • 1/2 bunch of coriander
  • 2 teaspoons of fresh ginger
  • 150g fresh cheese (such as Saint-Morêt)
  • 30g of green olives (Lucques variety, Picholine, etc.)
  • 2 tomatoes
  • Salt, pepper
  • Espelette chilli
  • Toast or toasted bread to serve with

Tip

These cod rillettes are ideal as an aperitif, a starter or to serve with a salad – here’s a fresh and flavourful recipe! We recommend a subtly flavoured olive oil for its mildness and notes of (dried, ripe) fruit! Choose from the following olive oils: Nyons olive oil PDO, Nice olive oil PDO, Languedoc AOC olive oil, and olive oils made from the Lucques, Tanche, Cailletier and Négrette varieties...

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 160°C.

  • Start by grating the zest of one and a half limes, then squeeze the juice from one lime.

  • Place the cod in an ovenproof dish. Lightly brush the fish with oil and drizzle over a teaspoon of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Then bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Leave the fish to cool.
  • Meanwhile, peel and chop the shallots. Wash, dry and chop the coriander. Peel and grate the ginger. Stone the green olives and dice them into small cubes.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix together the shallots, coriander, ginger, lime zest, green olives and cream cheese.
  • Wash and quarter the tomatoes, then remove the seeds and dice them very finely. Set aside.
  • Flake the fish into the mixing bowl, then mix it in with the other ingredients, mashing everything together with a fork. Add the diced tomatoes, a teaspoon of lime juice, some Espelette pepper and finish with a drizzle of mild olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then chill.
  • Serve as an aperitif on toasted bread or toast.

  • And finally, enjoy!
