cod potato and spring onion stew
main courses | serves 4-6The inspiration for this one comes from conversations with Icelandic and Danish friends who prize their cod. Traditionally, they prepare it in lots of different ways − pickled, salted, dried or smoked. This stew is similar to the way in which they slowly stew salt cod after soaking it (so that the excess salt seasons the other ingredients in the soup, like the potatoes). Good salt cod is quite hard to find these days, so I've adapted the recipe to use fresh cod, but you can also use hake, bass or halibut.
In an appropriately sized large pan, slowly fry your onion and leek with around 5 tablespoons of olive oil for 5 minutes until soft and tender. With a teaspoon, remove and discard the fluffy tasteless core from the courgettes and grate the rest into the pan. Chop the potatoes into rough 2cm/1 inch dice and add to the pan. Give everything a good stir and then add the anchovies. Turn the heat up and add the white wine. Allow to cook down by half before adding your milk and stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for half an hour until the potatoes are tender. At this point add your cod and simmer for a further 15 minutes until the flesh flakes away − feel free to stir and break up the fish, but it's quite nice to leave some big chunks as well. Season carefully to taste. Divide between your bowls, and serve with a small handful of parsley and spring onion dressed with a little olive oil and lemon juice.
Try this: Sprinkle a little orange zest over the parsley and spring onion. It really works with the cod.

I have follow your recipe for the cod potato and spring onion stew but replace the cod for a local fish due to availability. Still all that ate it thought it was good.
On my return to China in the 90's, I enrolled at the IFT ( Institute of Food and Tourism ) and obtained a degree in culinary art after 3 years just so as to further my interest in cooking but not really earnning a living doing it. I remember them saying in Canada that to be consider as a good cook one needs a blessing from God. To have a greasy spoon at all times and that said I assure you Sir that you too owns a greasy spoon. I would also like you to know, before I sign out, that I have been watching ' The Naked Chef ' when you were in your 20's. At the time you looked to me as an adventurouse and knowlegable chef. I will turn 60 come September this year. Always like to see you in your programmes so come up with more new ideas and the kitchen flame burnning. Pun Fat
