Poached cod with chickpeas and rosemary

Not yet rated

Valeria serves up a simple poached cod recipe with delicious chickpeas, delicately flavoured with garlic and rosemary. This makes a great fuss-free second course or main.

First published in 2017

An easy fish dish that is as light as it is fulfilling. Quintessentially Italian, it’s particularly suited to classic feasting days such as Christmas Eve, either as a second course (after a bowl of squid ink linguine) or as a main course after an antipasti spread.
