Method
- Heat a sauté pan over a medium heat, add the chorizo and fry for 3 mins or until it starts to release its oils and is crisp around the edges. Transfer to a plate, leaving the oil in the pan. Add the sofritto mix and cook for 3 mins. Stir through the tomato paste and continue to cook for 1 min or so.
- Add the tinned tomatoes, stock and some seasoning and bring to a gentle simmer for 5 mins. Add the peppers and cooked chorizo and cook for 3 mins until the sauce has thickened and the flavour is rich.
- Push the frozen cod pieces into the sauce so they are submerged. Continue to cook for 18 mins or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Scatter over the parsley and serve with crusty bread, if you like.
