SECOND COURSE - "Baccalà alla Formazzina"

Recipe for 4 people

Ingredients
4 pieces of fresh "baccalà" (salted cod)
4 medium-sized Formazza potatoes
2 yellow onions
1 clove of garlic
1 l milk
Parsley, to taste
Extra-virgin olive oil, to taste
Beet shoots

Preparation
For the potato spheres and the milk and onion cream:
Boil the potatoes, then peel them and use a melon baller to form spheres that we will boil until done. Douse them with extra-virgin olive oil and keep warm. In the meantime, cut the onion into julienne strips and simmer it in the milk slowly to form a cream. Filter the cream and let it cool. After it is cold, load a siphon with the cream and 2 gas cartridges.

For the "baccalà":
Set the pieces of fish on a baking sheet and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, sprinkle with salt and parsley stalks. Cover with tin foil and bake in the oven at 200°C until the internal temperature of the fish measures 50°C.
