Smoky Cod, Orzo and Broccoli Bake

 

Another one pot wonder and so very delicious and simple. Now I have realised that my non expensive copper pan from Sainsburys can go in the oven I'll be looking for more recipes like this. I added the parma ham as I love crispy parma ham with delicate cod. You don't need it as there is enough flavour in the meal but it did add a little something. When I can finally have friends and family for dinner again this will be high on my list. The recipe is from BBC GoodFood.

Ingredients

Serves 2
½ tbsp olive oil plus a drizzle
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp smoked paprika, plus a pinch
½-1 tbsp chipotle paste
200g long stem broccoli
400ml hot vegetable stock
150g orzo
½ small bunch of dill, chopped
½ small bunch of parsley, chopped
50g frozen peas
2 sustainable skinless cod fillets
4 tbsp fat-free yogurt


Method
Heat the oven to 200C. Heat the oil in a deep ovenproof frying pan, and fry the onion for 5 mins until tender. Add the paprika, chipotle paste, broccoli and stock. Stir in the orzo, and transfer to the oven for 10 mins.
Stir in half the herbs and the peas, and nestle the fish into the orzo. Sprinkle over a pinch of paprika and drizzle with oil, then season. Cook for 8-10 mins until the fish is cooked and the orzo is tender. Mix the remaining herbs with the yogurt. Loosen with a little water if needed, then serve with the orzo and fish.
