Method

Pre-heat oven to 180C/gas mark 4 To prepare the cod fillets, simply brush with extra virgin olive oil, add a small knob of butter to each fillet, season with salt and pepper and refrigerate. Over a medium heat, in a heavy-based pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil and butter until the butter starts to foam. Add the onion, garlic, carrot and celery and stir well. Place a lid on the pan and sweat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid, and add the sliced chorizo, cook for a further 5 minutes, without replacing the lid. At this point also place the cod fillets in the pre-heated oven.When the chorizo has had 5 minutes of cooking, add the cherry tomatoes, butterbeans and tomato paste. The tomato paste needs a minute or so to cook out before adding the vegetable stock. Stir well, replace the lid and simmer for 10 minutes Add the flat-leaf parsley and serve into warmed bowls. Top with the roasted cod, which will be just cooked through and still very moistEat and enjoy!
