Whip up this Mediterranean-inspired dish just like Jack Stein on Cooking with the Stars. This summer showstopper makes great use of both frozen and store-cupboard ingredients, making it a really handy recipe to rustle up at short notice. Frozen fish is still packed with goodness and salting it not only adds flavour but keeps the fish super tender too. If you’re sort on time, why not pick up a pack of M&S Greek style flatbreads instead of making your own?

step 1
For the flatbreads. Make the flatbreads. Put the flour (200 g) and salt (1 pinch) in a large mixing bowl and slowly add 100ml luke -warm water, bit by bit, until combined. Add the oil (2 tbsp) and use clean hands to knead the dough, adding a little more flour if it’s too sticky or a drop more water if it’s too dry.
step 2
Knead for 5 minutes until smooth. On a clean, lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 4 and roll out one at a time to a circle.
step 3
Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Take a sheet of kitchen paper and use to rub a little oil onto the surface of the pan. Cook each flatbread for about 2 minutes on each side – it should puff up a little. Set aside while you make the stew.
step 4
Alternatively, if you are using the Greek style flatbread (as needed), prepare according to pack instructions.
step 5
Pat dry the cod (380 g) then place in a shallow dish and coat all over with the table salt (100 g). Set aside for 40 minutes.
step 6
In a large sauté pan, add the olive oil (2 tbsp) over a medium-low heat. Add the onions (100 g) to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic paste (2 tsp) and miso paste (2 tsp).
step 7
Stir in the peppers (100 g), sundried tomatoes (50 g), chickpeas (1 tin) and tomatoes (1 tin) (filling the empty can halfway with water and swirling into the pan), then allow to cook down for 5 minutes.
step 8
Add the vegetable stock cube (1), 1.2 litres of water, soy sauce (2 tsp) and sherry vinegar (1 tbsp) to season. Bring to the boil then allow this to cook, uncovered, on a vigorous simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
step 9
While the stew simmers, preheat the oven to 180/160 fan/gas 4. Blitz the tomatoes (1 tin) in a blender and then pass through a sieve into a jug.
step 10
Add the sherry vinegar (1 tbsp), garlic paste (1 tsp) and olive oil (2 tbsp) and season with sea salt to taste. You’ll make more sauce than you need but any leftovers will freeze well or make a great base for pizzas and pasta sauces.
step 11
Rinse the salt off the cod and then add it to the stew. Cook for 8-10 minutes until cooked through before spooning into bowls. Sprinkle with the parsley (as needed).
step 12
For the salad, add the peppers (75 g), olives (50 g) and roughly chopped anchovy (1) (reserving one to garnish) to a bowl and stir to combine.
step 13
Stir through the dukkah (2 tbsp) and spoon on top of the fish to serve, garnishing with the whole anchovy fillet (1).
step 14
Slice the flatbreads into triangles and serve alongside the stew with a dollop of the sauce.
