This tasty cod and chorizo stew is a one-pot dinner that's made more affordable as it uses good-value beans to bulk up the more expensive ingredients. Having frozen fish on standby makes this a great store cupboard meal, too.

Buyer's guide

Most often sold as fillets and loins, cod is also available whole and headless, cold-smoked, dried or salted.

Preparation

Fresh cod is incredibly versatile. Skin or pin-bone fillets either before or after cooking. The flaky flesh flesh works well poached, baked, fried or grilled and it also complements rich sauces. Cod is the most popular fish for fish and chips, but is also excellent in fishcakes, fish pies, tempura and chowder.
