Baked Cod with Orzo and Spicy 'Nduja Sausage recipe by Cherrypick

Make a Friday night one-pot with red pepper, orzo, spicy nduja sausage and succulent pieces of cod. It’s comforting, rich and a breeze to make. You can swap the cod for haddock, monkfish, or prawns, depending on what you have in the fridge or freezer.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large shallow 30cm casserole dish or large ovenproof frying pan. Tip in the onion and fry with a pinch of salt over a low heat for 10 mins or until softened and translucent. Add the garlic, 'nduja, paprika and oregano, and cook for 1 min. Add the orzo and tomato purée, then gradually stir in the hot stock. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the rosemary, peppers, olives and season to taste. Simmer for 5 mins, stirring occasionally, then stir through the double cream or mascarpone.

Step 2

Sit the cod loins on top and bake in the oven, uncovered, for 12-15 mins or until the fish is cooked through. Scatter over the parsley and serve with salad, if you like.
