About

Baccalà mantecato is whipped salt cod, from the verb mantecare, which means to “whip” or “whisk.” This puree is usually served atop slices of grilled, fried, or baked polenta. It also can be paired with warm soft polenta for a very voluptuous contrast of hot and cold. In a most unusual pairing, Edda Servi Machlin spoons it atop a bed of sliced raw mushrooms.
