Laberdan

4 servings

Ingredients

• Laberdan (heavily salted fish) (as needed)
• potash (a little)
• water (as needed)
• parsley sauce (as needed)

Instructions

1. If you desire the heavily salted Laberdan to be very tender, soak it like cod with potash for 3 days, changing the water three times daily.
2. Then place it in cold soft water and let it simmer slowly without boiling.
3. The same sauces that go with cod are suitable, with parsley sauce being particularly recommended.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
