Bold Bean Co
Aka "Han's Beanspo"!
Here's a belter of a recipe using my faves in the Bold Bean range, QUEEN BUTTER BEANS.
Although I've named this a "stew", this dish is absolutely one to whip out when the sun is shining. This is a recipe my Dad + I would make on the weekly during lockdown; flaky cod, paired with salty chorizo + the juiciest of beans, all soaked up into a rich, tomato sauce; I'm SALIVATING even writing this - it's a must try for all you bean champs.
Ingredients
-
2 cod fillets
-
1 white onion, finely diced
-
2 garlic cloves, crushed
-
1tbsp sweet, smoked paprika
-
100g chorizo, sliced into small chunks
-
1 x 700 g jar of Bold Bean Co Queen Butter Beans (or 2 x 400g tins)
-
1 x 400g tin of quality chopped tomatoes
-
1 courgette, diced
-
1/2 red & yellow pepper, diced
-
A large handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
-
Salt + pepper
-
Olive oil
-
1 lemon
Directions
Heat a frying pan with olive oil at a medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and fry 6-7 minutes until softened. Then, add the crushed garlic and fry for a further 2 minutes
Add the chopped chorizo + fry until the juices start to release.
Add the paprika and mix well, coating the onions + garlic in the chorizo juices. Then, add the chopped courgette + peppers and cook for 5-6 minutes.
Next, add the chopped tomatoes and stir. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for a couple of minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Pour in the butter beans with their bean stock. Add 1/2 of the chopped parsley and a squeeze of half the lemon juice and stir to combine.
Next, nestle the cod fillets on top of the stew mixture with a pinch of salt + pepper. Cover with a lid and gently simmer for 7-8 minutes or until the cod is fully cooked through.
Plate up and sprinkle over the remaining parsley.
