Brandade de morue with Codfish

Serves 2 to 3
1 tin of roasted codfish
Juice of 1 lemon
1 clove of garlic
4 tablespoons of whole milk
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil (you can use the olive oil from the codfish tin, if you want a stronger flavour)
Pepper to taste
Some slices of tin loaf to serve on the side
Black olives and fresh flavours for serving

Preparation: Blend the drained codfish, garlic, lemon juice, milk, olive oil, and a pinch of salt until you get a thick, homogeneous crème. Transfer to a non-stick pan and warm over a low heat for a few minutes until it thickens a little more.; Cut the bread slices in half and toast in a frying pan for a few minutes. Serve the brandade over the warm toasted bread with the black olives and Pastis. Decorate the toasted slices with fresh herbs to taste (thyme, sage, basil…).
