Cod and Chorizo Stew, Cod and Chorizo Stew
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

While I was off work on furlough in 2020 due to the COVID 19 pandemic, one of the food programmes we watched was series 1 of John Torode’s Australia.   In episode 7 he made his version of a Spanish zarzuela fish stew – this cod and chorizo stew.   Most of the ingredients are flavours that we both really enjoy eating, especially the cod and chorizo, and so we decided we definitely wanted to give it a try – it was delicious!

We've both come to enjoy the flavour of fennel...whether it's fennel seeds or fresh fennel, however, I've never been a huge fan of Pernod, so this was the one ingredient I was rather dubious of!!   Turns out, I didn't need to worry...yes, there's an aniseed flavour in the sauce, but it's not too overpowering.   The flavours from the tomatoes, chilli, peppers and spicy chorizo balance out this cod and chorizo stew perfectly.

We found the video clip for the recipe on YouTube and watched it quite a few times so that we could note down the ingredients and method.

Tips

  • If you want to get ahead, make the recipe up to step 6 and then it can be left to cool.   When you're ready to eat, reheat the stew to a simmer and then continue from step 7.
  • We decided to 'cheat' and used roasted red peppers from a jar, however, if you do want to roast your own peppers, follow these instructions:
    • Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan oven. Line a large flat baking tray with baking paper.   Halve the peppers and arrange them on the baking tray, cut side down.   Roast for 30 to 35 minutes until the skin is shrivelled and lightly blistered.   Set aside to cool completely before peeling, then cut them into long strips.
