INGREDIENTS

  • 500 g Potatoes waxy, peeled and cut into quarters longwise (or eighths if particularly large)
  • 1 Onion medium, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 Garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
  • Lemon juice only
  • 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Thyme fresh
  • Salt and pepper
  • Water to cover
  • 500 g Cod loin or fillet

Cheats Mushy Peas

  • 300 g Peas petits pois, frozen
  • 2 Garlic cloves, peeled but left whole
  • 1 tsp Vegetable stock powder Bouillon is a good organic brand or use some fresh stock if you have some.
  • 1 tbsp Crème fraiche or natural yogurt
  • 1 tsp Unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 200c.
  • Lay the quartered potatoes in a roasting dish, so they fit snuggly but in one layer.
  • Sprinkle with the onion, garlic and thyme, season well, then anoint with the lemon juice and olive oil.
  • Pour water over the potatoes until just covered.
  • Cook in preheated oven, uncovered, for 25 minutes, then turn potatoes over. Cook for about another 15 minutes, or until cooked through. Note: cooking times may vary on the type of potato.
  • 15 minutes before the potatoes are done (when you've turned them), lay the cod loin on top of the potatoes, skin side down, season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 10-15 minutes or until the flesh starts to flake away and a sharp knife goes through the fish without any resistance.
  • Serve, spooning the potato, onion and garlic scented oil over the cod.

Cheats Mushy Peas

  • Cover the mushy peas and garlic cloves with water and the sprinkle over the stock powder or liquid.
  • Cook for about 2-4 minutes until defrosted and thoroughly warm.
  • Drain peas and garlic (reserving about 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquor).
  • Put into a blender, with a tablespoon of the reserved liquor, and all the other ingredients.
  • Blend until the peas are at the consistency you like. You may like them really smooth like a puree, or a bit lumpy. This takes no more than a few seconds in the blender.
  • Taste for seasoning, add more stock if needed.
  • Serve with the above Greek potatoes and cod or just plain fish and chips!
