Dishes based on salt cod can be found all over France. In the Périgord region cooked salt cod is mashed with potatoes, garlic, eggs, and walnut oil and baked into a kind of savory cake. In a Basque dish, morue basquaise, salt cod is simmered with onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes, and herbs, and the cod is flaked and everything combined into a kind of coarse stew. In Provence, meaty chunks of salt cod are served en ratïo. A ratio is a sauce made with red wine, tomatoes, aromatic vegetables, a big bouquet garni, and a few crushed walnuts. The sauce is thickened with roux, strained, and finished with chopped olives and capers. In Brittany, puréed beans replace the potatoes in a kind of brandade made with tuna preserved in brine instead of salt cod. The mixture is sprinkled with cheese and breadcrumbs and served as a gratin.
