Ingredients and Substitutions
There’s a printable recipe card below for this cod and chorizo stew with the full quantities. But here are the main ingredients and ideas for any swaps.
- Chorizo: You can buy pre-chopped or a whole chorizo sausage and slice it up.
- Red Onion
- Red Pepper: Or swap for a yellow, orange or green pepper, diced tomatoes, or even chunks of courgette or aubergine. Add as much veg as you like!
- Chilli: I tend to use frozen chopped chilli or chilli paste for ease. Omit for a less spicy recipe if you don’t like the heat!
- Fennel Seeds: I love the subtle aniseed taste of fennel with fish, but omit these if you’re not a fan.
- Tomatoes: I used tinned, chopped tomatoes for ease and to keep costs down.
- Butter Beans: You can use any beans you like though – cannellini beans, haricot beans and black beans all work well. Or use mixed beans instead!
- Cod Fillets: Or any white fish will work, like haddock or basa fillets.
How to Make Cod and Chorizo Stew
There’s a printable recipe card below with the method. But here are some step-by-step photos to show you how easy this cod and chorizo stew is to make.
Storing and Freezing Instructions
TO STORE: Any leftover stew can be kept in the fridge for 1-2 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving up. You can also store the stew (minus the fish) in the fridge for 3-5 days and then reheat in a pan, adding the fish to cook fresh.
TO FREEZE: You can freeze leftovers of this fish and chorizo stew – I like to freeze mine in portions so I can easily just defrost what is needed.

Cod and Chorizo Stew Recipe
Ingredients
- 150 g chorizo, chopped
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 red pepper, sliced
- 3-4 tsp chopped garlic
- 1 tsp chopped chilli, optional
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 400 g tinned chopped tomatoes
- 400 g tinned butter beans, drained
- 4 cod fillets, skinless boneless
- Fresh parsley + lemon wedges to serve
Instructions
- Place the pan on a medium heat then add the chorizo pieces. Fry for 2-3 minutes until it starts to crisp up. It should release enough oil but you can add a little extra olive oil here if the pan is a bit dry.
- Add the red onion, garlic, chilli, fennel and oregano and fry on a low heat for 5 minutes until the onion starts to soften.
- Add the sliced red pepper, mix well and fry for another 2 minutes.
- Pour in the tinned tomatoes and drained butter beans, mix well. Bring to a simmer, place the lid on the pan and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid. Nestle the cod fillets into the sauce, place the lid back on then cook for another 5 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. Serve garnished with fresh parsley and a lemon wedge, with rice or crusty gluten free bread.
