Preserved lemon and olive Cod Flatbread
Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the preserved lemon and olive elements, and pat the cod dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the cod. Stir-fry over the highest heat, keeping everything moving, until just cooked and glossy.

Stir in the preserved lemons and the rest of the preserved lemon and olive flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the courgette along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Finish with the chopped parsley and serve while hot.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
