  • 75g chorizo
  • 2 tbsps olive oil

  • 125 ml stock (chicken/fish/vegetable - any you prefer)(1/2 cup)

Instructions
 

To make the Cassoulet

  • Dice the onion and chop the garlic.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil on a medium heat and fry the onion and garlic until softened (about 5 mins).
  • Dice the chorizo and add to the onion and garlic.
  • Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the chorizo starts to colour and release some of its oil.
  • Add the chopped, tinned tomatoes and season well with salt and black pepper.
  • Add the stock to thin the sauce slightly and cook on a low heat for about 10 mins to infuse the flavours.
  • Rinse the haricot/navy beans and add to the frying pan.
  • Warm everything through and allow to cook while you prepare the fish.

For the fish

  • Heat the remaining tbsp of oil in a frying pan on a high heat.
  • Season both sides of the fish with salt and black pepper and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked all the way through.

To serve

  • Just before serving, chop or tear the basil into small pieces and stir through the cassoulet.
  • Top the cassoulet with the fish and serve with a drizzle of olive oil, some fresh black pepper and some extra basil leaves as garnish.
