Oven-Baked Cod with Chorizo, Chickpeas, and Roasted Red Peppers
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 1 can (14 ounces) tomatoes in puree
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 4 ounces Spanish-style chorizo, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, torn
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil in a large baking dish and spread it evenly to coat the bottom.
3. Combine Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, sliced roasted red peppers, and tomatoes in puree. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Stir to mix thoroughly.
4. Assemble the Dish
Pour the chickpea mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Lay the cod fillets on top of the mixture in a single layer.
5. Prepare the Chorizo
Scatter the sliced chorizo over the cod fillets. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper over the entire dish.
6. Bake
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil over the top of the dish. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Garnish and Serve
Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and torn basil over the top. Serve hot, making sure each portion includes a bit of everything.
