Salt Fish with Potatoes and Drawn Butter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proulx makes reference to drawn butter when talking about yet another cod dish.  I couldn't leave it out considering the only time I've ever eaten is with salt cod and potatoes. It's a taste you'll never forget.
Ingredients
Desired amount of salt codfish
Desired amount of potatoes
1/4 cup of margarine
1 medium onion
2&1/2 tbsp of flour
1&1/2 cups of hot water
salt and pepper
Directions
Soak salt cod overnight.  The next day place fish in a pot with the potatoes, cover with water and bring to a boil.  Simmer until potatoes are tender.
While fish and potatoes are simmering melt butter in a saucepan, add chopped onion and cook on low heat.  Next, add flour and blend thoroughly.  Add hot water and cook until the mixture is thickened stirring constantly.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
Pour over potatoes.
