Make Michel Roux Jr's stewed skrei with cannellini beans and chorizo
This stew combines the delicate flavour and robust texture of Norwegian Skrei cod with cannellini beans and chorizo
Serves 4
Preparation time 15 mins
Cooking time 120 mins
Ingredients
- 3 Norwegian Skrei fillets (deboned and skinned)
- 175g cooking chorizo
- 2 small white onions, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- 70g cavolo nero, roughly chopped
- 125g cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 sprig thyme
- 200ml fish stock
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the cannellini beans
- Dried cannellini beans
- 1 carrot, peeled
- ½ shallot
- 1 tsp sea salt
- Salt and pepper
Method
- The day before you want to cook this dish, soak the beans in cold water for at least 5 hours. Once doubled in size, drain and rinse.
- Place in a large pan with the veggies, season and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, scoop off any foam and reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
- Cover pan and cook for approximately 1 hour, adding more water if it gets too low. Once tender, strain and discard the cooked carrot and shallot.
- Slice the chorizo into bitesize morsels. Sear in a frying pan over med-high heat for 3 minutes on each side (no fat needed). Remove chorizo from pan and set aside on kitchen paper.
- Use the fat left in pan to sear the onions, garlic and cavolo nero. Cook for about 4 minutes until tender.
- Then add the tomatoes and cook for a further 5 minutes until softened.
- Finally, add the cooked beans, chorizo, thyme and stock together with the Skrei.
- Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook for approximately 8 minutes. Season to taste and discard the sprig of thyme before serving.
- Plate simply with the Skrei placed over a good bed of the stew.
