Air Fryer Crispy Chorizo and Fish Bake - British Main

Ingredients

Main

  • 0.5 piece red onion (medium, cut into thin wedges)
  • 1 piece yellow or orange bell pepper (seeds removed, cut into 2cm chunks)
  • 175 g courgette (halved lengthways, cut into 2cm chunks)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (hot or sweet)
  • 1 clove Garlic (large, crushed)
  • 150 g white fish fillet (thick, skinless, cut into 2.5cm chunks)
    Alternative: firm tofu
  • 4 slice chorizo (thin slices)
    Alternative: vegan chorizo
  • 0.25 tsp Sea salt (to taste)
  • 0.25 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)

Sauce

  • 200 g passata
  • 100 g canned butter beans (drained)
  • 0.25 tsp dried oregano

To serve

  • 1 tbsp Parsley (chopped, optional)
  • 1 piece crusty bread (warm, optional)

Instructions

  1. Put the onion, pepper and courgette into a large bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, a pinch of sea salt and plenty of black pepper. Toss well to coat.

  2. If necessary, preheat the air fryer to 200°C.

  3. Place the vegetables in the base of the air-fryer drawer without the crisper plate (or use a suitable ovenproof dish). Cook at 200°C for 10 minutes, turning or shaking after 5 minutes, until softened and lightly browned.

  4. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil with the remaining 1/2 tsp smoked paprika and the crushed garlic in a small saucepan over low heat for 20 seconds, stirring.

  5. Add the passata, butter beans and oregano. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Season with a little salt and pepper.

  6. Stir the tomato and bean sauce through the roasted vegetables in the drawer.

  7. Place the fish pieces and sliced chorizo on top without stirring. Air-fry at 200°C for 3 minutes, or until the fish is cooked and the chorizo is crisping.

  8. Stand for 3-4 minutes with the drawer slightly ajar. Transfer to a warm shallow bowl, scatter with parsley if using, and serve with warm crusty bread.
