I was sent through some Wild Cod Fillets Fillets from the wonderful John Milne at Delish Fish. Now these are some awesome fillets, look how good they look.
The lovely Fish is the Dish people sent me through a recipe for Cod Bobotie, which includes a lot of eggs. It looks amazing, but making it and eating it wasn't something I could make and eat so I made something a little different with the awesome cod fillets, but why not have a go yourself.
I made Smoked Paprika Cod and Pea Mash.
Smoked Paprika
The Ingredients:-
Cod Fillets
Smoked Paprika
Olive Oil
Cooked Sweetcorn
Salt and Pepper for seasoning
How to Cook:-
I coated the cod fillets in oil and sprinkled a generous coating of smoked paprika over them. I then heated some more olive oil in a frying pan and once hot, I placed the fish in the pan. I covered for about 10 minutes and then turned them over to cook the other side for another 5 minutes, having added the sweetcorn, some more paprika and salt and pepper to season. The fillets were quite thick. While that was cooking I put on the pea Mash.
Pea Mash
The Ingredients:-
2 cups Frozen Peas
1 pint Chicken Stock
1/4 cup fresh torn mint
Pinch Chili powder
How to Cook:-
I added the peas to a pint of chicken stock. Let them come to the boil and then cover and simmer for 10 minutes. I then drained off some of the stock, added the torn or chopped mint and the chili powder. Then, I mashed with the masher. The best bit.
The Finished Dish.
Both boys really liked this and despite the look on Tyler's face he ate it all. He was tired.
This was the first time I had made this dish and it won't be the last. I made it up as I went along, but it wasn't anything to fancy let's face it, but it was very tasty. I did like the pea mash as an alternative to potato's and will use that again too. All in all it was a great fishy dish and Delish Fish is the best as ever.
Disclaimer:- I was sent the fish fillets for this recipe to try it out.
