Bold Bean Co

Directions

1. step 1

   Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook for 8-10 minutes until softened. Then, add the garlic and fry for a further minute until fragrant.

2. step 2

   Add the chopped chorizo and fry until the juices start to release - about 3-4 minutes - stirring occasionally.

3. step 3

   Add the courgette, peppers and spices and toss everything to coat in the oils and chorizo juices. Cook for 5-6 minutes until starting to soften.

4. step 4

   Stir in the chopped tomatoes. If your tomatoes are quite sour, add the sugar now. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for a couple of minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

5. step 5

   Pour in the butter beans with their bean stock, stir to combine and bubble away for 2-3 minutes to warm the beans through and allow the mixture to thicken slightly. Check for seasoning and adjus to taste.

6. step 6

   Nestle the cod fillets on top of the stew with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and gently simmer over a low-medium heat for 7-8 minutes or until the cod is fully cooked through. It should flake easily.

7. step 7

   Scatter over the parsley and squeeze over the juice of half a lemon. Serve into bowls with a squeeze more lemon and a side of crusty bread for dunking, if you like.
