Chorizo, New Potato & Haddock One-Pot

Having some new potatoes in the fridge yesterday and googling for ideas I found this great recipe on the BBC Good Food website. As always I've adjusted the quantities to what I wanted but I think what's great is that it doesn't really matter here - use what you have and it will be lovely. Cooking chorizo is a great ingredient to have in the fridge - lasts for ages and can create a feast out of nothing!

100g cooking chorizo (I used Unearthed extra-spicy)

400-500g new potatoes, sliced

100g cherry tomatoes, halved

15g flat-leaf parsley, chopped 

2 skinless boneless haddock fillets (or any chunky white fish)

Glass white wine

Crusty bread and green vegetables or salad to serve

1. Heat some olive oil in a large lidded frying pan.

2. Skin the chorizo then chop or break up into small pieces then add to the pan and stir. Cook for a few minutes until the chorizo starts to release its oils.

3. Slice the new potatoes, add to the pan and stir together. Season well.

4. Add about half a glass of white wine, stir, then put the lid on and leave to cook for 10 minutes.

5. Stir again to turn the potato slices and add a splash of water if the pan is dry, then put the lid back on and cook for another ten minutes.

6. Add the tomatoes and parsley then stir to combine.

7. Season the haddock fillets and place on top of the potatoes. Pour over the rest of the wine, put on the lid and cook for five minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flaky.

8. Serve with green vegetables or a crispy salad. Original recipe also suggests crusty bread which I didn't have but it would be nice as the dish gives out a lot of juices.

I loved this recipe and I'll be doing it again soon! You could substitute white beans for the potatoes if you like and any kind of white fish would be fine although I think chunky fillets would work better.

Definitely felt proud of myself having pulled this out of the bag in less than half an hour!
