Time: 1/2 hour

Sufficient for 4 persons

Note: Cod that has been left will do for this, if fresh is not available
Ingredients
  1. 2 slices of cod
  2. 1/4 lb. of butter
  3. a little chopped shallot
  4. a little chopped parsley
  5. pepper to taste
  6. 1/4 teaspoonful of grated nutmeg, or rather less, when the flavour is not liked
  7. the juice of 1/4 lemon
Directions
  • Boil the cod, and either leave it whole, or, what is still better, flake it from the bone, and take off the skin
  • Put it into a stewpan with the butter, parsley, shalot, pepper, and nutmeg
  • Melt the butter gradually, and be very careful that it does not become like oil
  • When all is well mixed and thoroughly hot, add the lemon-juice, and serve
