Pan-fried Hake, White Bean & Chorizo Broth Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 fillets hake (skinless)
  • 1 cup white beans (cooked or canned)
  • 100 g chorizo (sliced)
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 sprig fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the chorizo.

    Using fresh ingredients enhances the flavor.
  2. Cook the Chorizo

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned.

    This step infuses the oil with chorizo flavor.
  3. Sauté Aromatics

    Add onion and garlic to the pot, sauté until soft and translucent.

    Don't rush this step; it builds the base flavor.
  4. Add Broth and Beans

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the white beans. Bring to a simmer.

    Simmering helps to meld all flavors together.
  5. Pan-fry the Hake

    In a separate pan, heat a bit of olive oil and pan-fry the hake fillets until golden brown on both sides.

    Ensure the pan is hot enough to get a good sear.
  6. Combine and Serve

    Place the pan-fried hake on top of the broth and serve garnished with parsley.

    Serve immediately for the best texture.
