Ingredients

  • 650g cod loin, cut into 4 pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 400g chopped tomatoes
  • 60g black olives, sliced
  • 1 tbsp capers, rinsed
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 250g courgettes, sliced
  • Small handful basil, torn

Method

Check the fish for bones, pat it dry, and prepare the vegetables and sides before cooking.

Soften the onion and garlic in olive oil, then add the tomatoes, olives, capers, oregano, and courgettes.

Nestle in the cod, cover, and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes until the fish flakes easily.

Finish with basil and serve with extra vegetables or a small portion of rice.

A practical recipe with enough travel character to feel interesting. Cod alla Livornese (Italy) would sit well in a lighter weekly meal plan.

I liked the way Cod alla Livornese (Italy) kept the focus on fresh flavour rather than richness. The portion guidance made it easier to plan around.

Cod alla Livornese (Italy) gave me a good way into Italy cooking without a complicated method. The fish stayed tender and the recipe felt easy to adapt.
