Cod And Chorizo Stew With Grilled Garlic Bread Recipes

NADIYA HUSSAIN'S CHORIZO FISH STEW WITH GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Start by making the garlic bread. Put the flour, yeast, sugar and salt into a bowl. Add the butter and rub it in. Make a well in the centre and add the water, then bring the dough together and knead for 10 minutes, until it is smooth and stretchy. Put it back into the bowl, cover and leave to prove for 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size. Have ready a roasting tray, lightly greased and with semolina sprinkled over the base. Knock the dough back in the bowl, then tip out on to a floured surface. Divide it into golfball-size pieces and put them on the tray, leaving small gaps in between to give the dough room to grow. Cover and leave to prove until doubled in size. Now on to the stew. Put the oil into a pan over a medium heat, and when it's hot add the chorizo and cook until some of the spices have been released. Add the mustard seeds and allow them to sizzle. Then add the garlic and cook until golden. Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, tomato purée, chilli powder and vinegar, and cook on a medium heat for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 160°C/fan 140°C and bake the garlic bread for 30-35 minutes. Now add your white fish to the stew and cook for a few minutes with the lid on. Then take off the lid, add the water and leave to simmer on the lowest heat. Take the stew off the heat and mix in the salmon and parsley. Put the lid on the pan to keep it hot. Meanwhile melt the butter and add the garlic, parsley and rock salt. As soon the rolls come out of the oven, brush all the butter on top of the hot rolls. Serve the stew with the hot garlicky bread.

COD & CHORIZO STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and add the onion. Cook over a medium heat for 5 mins until starting to soften. Add the chorizo and cook for another few mins to release the oil. Coat the onion in the chorizo oil, then tip in the tomatoes. Fill the can with water and tip that in too. Season and bring to the boil.
• Once boiling, season the cod fillets and nestle into the pan. Reduce the heat and gently simmer for about 7 mins. Gently mix in the butter beans and cook for 1-2 mins more until hot. Scatter with parsley and serve in bowls.

GRILLED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Mash 4 tablespoons softened butter with 1 minced garlic clove, 2 tablespoons minced parsley and 1/4 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Spread on 1 sliced baguette (1/2 inch thick). Grill over medium-high heat, flipping, until marked, 2 to 4 minutes (move to a cooler spot on the grill if necessary).

BAKED COD WITH A CHORIZO CRUMB & LEMON AïOLI

Steps:

• Tip the chorizo into a frying pan and cook over a medium heat until it releases its oil and becomes crisp in places. Meanwhile, make the aïoli: stir together the ingredients with some seasoning, then chill.
• Put the chorizo and its oil in a food processor and pulse until broken into small chunks. Add the breadcrumbs, almonds, lemon zest, seasoning and half the olive oil, then blitz to a crumb.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the cod fillets on a lightly greased baking tray, then brush with the remaining oil. Heap the crumbs onto the fish and pat down so that the fillets are well covered. Let them firm up in the fridge for at least 20 mins.
• When you're ready to cook, pop the fish in the oven for 10-15 mins, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the flesh has turned opaque and the chorizo crumb is golden.
