Cod with Organic Sweet Chilli Butter Beans & Rosemary
(Serves 4)
This makes a super quick lunch time snack for vegetarians and meat eaters alike.
Neapoletana sauce is a convenient ready made rich tomato sauce made with extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil. Otherwise substitute Neapoletana sauce for two cans of organic chopped tomatoes, 1 tbls of extra virgin olive oil and a small handful of fresh basil and puree them together in a liquidiser.

2 small organic onions, sliced |

4 sprigs fresh rosemary |

two 350g/ 12fluoz cartons of fresh Neapoletana sauce, (or see intro) |

Method
Fry the cod in the oil until both sides are lightly golden and it is cooked through. Remove carefully from the pan, and keep covered in foil in a low oven.
Meanwhile Add the olive oil to a medium sized frying pan and add the onions and rosemary. Cook over a low to medium heat stirring occasionally until lightly golden. Mix in the Neapoletana sauce and chilli sauce and cook for 5 minutes until the red juices has has slightly thickened. Stir through the beans and leave the mixture to cook gently for a further 4 - 5 minutes. It is important that the beans keep their shape, so remove the mixture a little earlier from the heat if any of the beans start to pulp slightly.
Place the cod into 4 shallow individual warmed serving dishes and spoon over the hot beans. Serve straight away with a fresh salad like the one below and grilled ciabatta or hot garlic bread.

Tomato Salad in a Sweet Lemon & Basil Dressing
Equipment & Ingredients
| • |
1 tbls Whitworths organic granulated sugar |
|
| • |
10 fresh basil leaves, lightly torn |
|
| • |
Sea salt ground and freshly ground black pepper |
|
| • |
2 tbls extra virgin olive oil |

Method
Mix the tomatoes lemon juice sugar and fresh basil together in a serving bowl and season to taste. Add a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil before serving
Tip
Sugar adds sweet edge to the naturally acidic flavour of tomatoes. I also add sugar to a simple fresh tomato salad above. Tomatoes are very rich in vitamin C and are health giving during the winter months if you serve them with filling foods like shepherds pie and hot meat or fish pasta dishes.
