LOOK AT THESE COLOURS! SO LOUD! And the flavours are just as bold. I love this one-pot-wonder. Just chuck everything in the pan and let it stew for ± 40 minutes so all the flavours marry together and you have a delicious meal leaving a clean kitchen behind as well. What more do you want?
This dish is also great without the cod, for example you can add some fresh feta instead, a great combo too!
