Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets cod
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 150 g chorizo
  • 500 g potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 clove garlic
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Peeler
  • Masher or fork
  • Two frying pans
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Peel and chop the potatoes into small, even pieces and place them in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add finely chopped garlic and diced chorizo, cooking until the chorizo is golden, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add heavy cream to the pan with chorizo and garlic, stirring to combine and letting it simmer on low heat for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Once potatoes are tender, drain them and return to the pot. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper, then mash until smooth and creamy.
  5. In another pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat and cook cod fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and flaky.
  6. Place cod fillets on a plate, spoon creamy chorizo sauce over them, and serve with mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, add a splash of white wine to the chorizo and cream mixture before simmering. If you don’t have all the ingredients, consider substitutions like using tilapia for cod or half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, adding cream or milk to the sauce for a smooth texture.
