Method
- Put the chorizo in a hot non-stick pan and cook over a medium heat until it releases its red oils. Add the onion, garlic and oregano leaves and cook for 5-7 mins until the onion has softened, adding a splash of water, as necessary.
- Add the beans and potatoes with 250ml water. Cover with a circle of wet greaseproof paper and a lid and cook over a very low heat for 30-40 mins. Do not allow to dry out, top up with water as needed.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven to 220ºC/425ºF/gas mark 7. Combine the spices with the honey and sufficient lemon juice to make a thin paste. Use to coat the flesh side of the cod.
- Spray a non-stick ovenproof frying pan with olive oil. Over a high heat cook the cod, skin side down, for 5 mins, then place in the oven for 10 mins until golden and very lightly caramelized.
- Divide the bean mixture between four warm plates then top with the cod.
