White Bread Cod Pudding with Drawn Butter

By Bonita's Kitchen June 9, 2019

Hi and Welcome to our website!

If you are looking for a recipe for white bread cod pudding you are in the right place, seat back with a cup of tea and check out my video with step by step method on how to make this delicious pudding. I'm always looking for ways to use my left over bread and this recipe was one I put together with some atlantic cod.

This recipe is made with stale white bread and fresh atlantic cod and a light homemade custard with a prefect balance of seasonings. You can substitute if you would like to use a different type of bread or fish, but the bread MUST be stale.

If you are looking for a different cod meal this would be it, and it taste so lovely. Served with a delicious drawn butter to have a little dipping sauce. I'm so grateful to have access to our local codfish, I don't catch them we go to the local store or sometimes from friends that got extra codfish on hand.

Please continue on to my recipe and I will share with you a link to my cookbook available on amazon. https://www.bonitaskitchen.com/cookbook

Years ago our elders would make anything cod, they had more access to it then we have now. Everyone lived off the land and sea, with everything being handmade and homemade. This is not a traditional recipe but a recipe I’ve put together with a little of this and that, much like they did years ago……My dad was a this and that cook he loved making a meal from stretch. Dad was a farmer but we lived in a fishing community with access to local seafood, mostly codfish. Plus you can do so much with cod and make many meals, check out my website for some a those recipes.

Just look at the method to this recipe and using stale bread will bring you better results with this recipe, use a pudding tin or a oven safe dish. If you don’t have a dutch oven or cast iron pot just put it in the oven on a pan. Oil the tin well because it may stick to the sides of pudding tin, run a knife along the side before tipping it over to the plate. After you have cut the white bread cod pudding into 4 or 6 pieces serve with a light drawn butter sauce to bring this meal together, maybe a side of potatoes….. 🙂

Thank you for stopping by our website and for reading my blog, please take a few minutes and leave us a message we would love to hear from you……we have a short video hear for you to watch. So make yourself a cup of tea and seat back and enjoy….From our kitchen to yours, thank you once again for joining us and have a wonderful day…. 🙂 Bonita
