Ethnic Recipes


classical recipe from the Mediterranean coasts of France, which presents an unusual yet perfect combination of a simple ingredient like dried salted cod with a rich, luxurious one like truffles. The resulting dish has a velvety texture, a full taste and a delicate flavor to be savored at the end of the truffle season. This dish should be prepared in a similar way to Venetian style dried salted cod, which proves that Europe has a common culinary and gastronomical heritage because of the ancient commerce in ancient times which brought ingredients from north to south well before the birth of the European Community.
