Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
1 clove garlic crushed
1/2 tsp hot smoked paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
350 g orzo
4 tbsp tomato purée
800 ml hot chicken or veg stock
1 sprig rosemary
2 large charred red peppers from a jar
30 g black olives drained and halved
40 g nduja sausage crumbled

4 cod loin fillets

Steps

Heat the oven to 400 F, chop the onion and peppers, and crush the garlic.
Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat, then cook the onion, garlic, paprika, oregano, and sausage for 5 minutes.
Stir in the orzo, tomato purée, stock, rosemary, peppers, and olives, then simmer for 8 minutes.
Nestle the cod into the orzo, cover the skillet, and bake at 400 F for 15 minutes.
Uncover and bake for 5 minutes more, until the cod reaches 145 F and the orzo is tender.
Check that the thickest part of the poultry reaches 165 F before serving.
Cook sausage until it reaches 160 F inside.
Remove the rosemary, stir in the cream and parsley, and season with salt and pepper.
