Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut the salt cod into quarters and soak for 24 to 48 hours in several changes of water. Soak the flageolets in water to cover for 24 hours.

  2. Step 2

    Simmer the beans in water to cover for 30 to 45 minutes, with the bouquet garni, onion and one clove garlic, crushed.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Pat the cod dry with paper towels and season with pepper. Lightly brown the fish on both sides in the peanut oil. Place in a buttered ovenproof dish, sprinkle with remaining three cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped fine, and the cooked, drained flageolets.

  4. Step 4

    Pour on the heavy cream and bake for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped chervil just before serving.
