Prep Aioli ( Garlic Sauce ):
First boil until tender, your yellow flesh ( ou dark blue ) potatoes...next, using either a large mortar & pestle or a steel bowl, mash your peeled garlic cloves & the salt until pureed. Mix in warm potato & the 2 egg yolks & blend in the extra virgin olive oil very gradually with a wisk...making Mayo!! ( this could also be accomplished using an immersion blender or sm food processor ) Please set aside at room temp.
Vegie Prep!
Peel & trim all hard veg to approx 2 inch by 1/4 inch, cut X with a sharp paring knife into the bottom of each sprout & fully wash the sectioned leeks. Steam, covered, your red fingerling potatoes for 8 minutes. Add the other veg to the upper section of your steamer & let run on full for 10 minutes. Your brussel sprouts should be cooked to al dente at this point.
Fish time!!
While your veg has been steaming happily on one side, you by now, have completely drained the salt cod from the soaking water & have your 4c of soy milk pre-heated on low with the thyme & peppercorns in the liquid. Poach the cod sections ( 4 oz @ ) in a large diameter saute or similar vessel...7 - 10 minutes depending on how you like it
Service!
Warmed platters...veg niced arranged, either side of the fish, aioli spooned over top & garnished with sprig of parsley. Pre-heated sauceboat helps share out the remaining garlic aioli. A dark rye baquette goes nicely with this...chased by French Press Sumatran Dark Fair Trade coffee!
