100g (4oz) spicy chorizo, sliced (uncooked if possible)
4 small onions, chopped
1tbsp olive oil 2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 x 400g tins whole plum tomatoes
2 x 400g tins chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F, gas mark 4). In a large sauté pan or roasting tin, fry the onions in the olive oil until soft and tender. Add the garlic and chorizo slices and fry for 2 to 3 mins. Don't over-fry the chorizo as it can become tough.
Next, add the tomatoes and chickpeas and stir together well.
Place in an ovenproof dish and sit the cod fillets on top. Bake in the oven for 10-15 mins or until the fish is cooked through.
