Cod loin w/chorizo, tomato and red pepper

In a hurry? Then here is a quick mid-week dinner idea...

serves 2

ingredients:
2 pieces of cod loin
handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 carton of passata
1/2 red pepper, finely sliced
6 slices of chorizo, sliced
1/2 onion, diced
1 stick of celery, finely diced
1/2 tbsp caster sugar
splash of balsamic vinegar
splash of white wine
sea salt + freshly ground black pepper

to serve:
handful of flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 wedges of lemon

how to:
Put a casserole dish on a medium heat, ad a splash of olive oil and the onion and celery. Gently fry until softened, don't brown.
Add the chorizo and red pepper and cook for a few more minutes.
Add the white wine and reduce down slightly for a few minutes.
Add the passata, cherry tomatoes, sugar and balsamic vinegar and cook for 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Place the cod loin on top of the sauce and push down until 3/4 covered by sauce.
Cook for 10-15 minutes until peppers have softened slightly and the fish is cooked through.
Remove from heat and sprinkle over the parsley.
Serve with lemon wedges.

enjoy...
