Ingredients

  • Potatoes, waxy250 g
  • Parsley, fresh1 bunch
  • Frozen peas80 g
  • Garlic3 cloves
  • Extra virgin olive oil2 tsp

From your store cupboard

Plain flourBlack pepperSalt

Method

  1. Let the cod thaw — overnight in the fridge, or in a hurry in a sealed bag in cold water in 30 minutes, never in warm. Drain the thawed fish and pat it dry with kitchen paper; meltwater would thin the green sauce.
  2. Cut the potatoes into 1 cm rounds and boil them 12 minutes in salted water. Keep the water; it becomes the sauce.
  3. In a pan fry the crushed garlic in the oil 1 minute over a low heat — it mustn’t brown.
  4. Add a teaspoon of flour, stir for a minute and add 250 ml of the potato water. Stir until the sauce thickens.
  5. Stir in plenty of chopped parsley — the sauce should be a deep green, which is the whole name of the dish.
  6. Lay in the cod and the potatoes, add the peas, season with pepper and cook 8 minutes. Just rock the pan; don’t stir.

How to tell it’s done
