Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 200g cooking chorizo, chopped into small pieces
- 400g can chopped tomatoes
- 4 cod fillets (approximately 150g each)
- 400g can butter beans, drained
- ½ small pack parsley, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes until starting to soften.
- Cook the chorizo: Add the chopped cooking chorizo to the pan. Cook for a few more minutes, allowing the chorizo to release its flavorful oil and coat the onions.
- Add tomatoes and simmer: Pour in the canned chopped tomatoes, then fill the empty tomato can with water and add it to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Cook the cod fillets: Season the cod fillets lightly with salt and pepper. Nestle them carefully into the bubbling tomato and chorizo sauce. Reduce the heat and gently simmer for about 7 minutes until the cod is cooked through and tender.
- Add butter beans: Gently stir in the drained butter beans and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Finish and serve: Scatter the roughly chopped parsley over the stew. Serve hot in bowls for a hearty and warming meal.
Notes
- You can substitute butter beans with cannellini or other white beans if preferred.
- Ensure cod fillets are skinless or remove skin before cooking for a smoother texture.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, especially after adding the beans.
- Use fresh parsley if possible for the best flavor and garnish.
- This dish pairs well with crusty bread or a simple green salad.
