This dish is an excellent starter course from the south of France. Morue is cod, and the brandade de morue is a cod fish-paste. You'll find it at a few restaurants, usually very good, and sometimes available in cans at the grocery store.

Recipe's Ingredients

1 can brandade de morue
1 head lettuce
4 tomatoes
bread (french stick)

herbes de provence (basilic,thyme, parsley)
black olives
olive oil
30 g pine nuts

Recipe preparation steps
1

Wash the lettuce and the tomatoes. Cut the lettuce into short strips and quarter the tomatoes.
2

Mix the lettuce with a light amount of olive-oil. Put a bed of lettuce on individual salad plates, add a few black olives and sprinkle on some pine nuts.
3

Slice and toast the bread, 3 or 4 per person.
4

Put a generous helping of the fish paste on the hot-toasted bread, and place on the lettuce. Put the tomato quarters around the toast.
5

Sprinkle some herbes de provence on the fish paste, and serve.
