Cod with Mediterranean Tomato Sauce

Thermomix recipe: Cod with Mediterranean Tomato Sauce. Ready in 40 minutes. Serves 4. Step-by-step Thermomix instructions on Chef Amai.

Ingredients

• 100 g onion, quartered
• 2 cloves garlic
• 20 g olive oil
• 400 g canned diced tomatoes
• 200 g vegetable stock
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt, plus more for seasoning fish
• 1/4 tsp black pepper, plus more for seasoning fish
• 4 (approx. 150-180 g each) cod fillets, fresh or thawed
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. Add 100 g onion and 2 cloves garlic to the mixing bowl. Chop 3 sec/Speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula.
2. Add 20 g olive oil. Sauté 5 min/120°C/Speed 1.
3. Add 400 g canned diced tomatoes, 200 g vegetable stock, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to the mixing bowl. Stir briefly with the spatula.
4. Place the 4 cod fillets in the Varoma dish. Season the cod fillets generously with salt and pepper.
5. Secure the Varoma lid and place the Varoma onto the mixing bowl. Cook 20 min/Varoma/Speed 2 (Reverse).
6. After 10 minutes of cooking, carefully remove the Varoma. Pause the machine, scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl with the spatula to ensure even cooking of the sauce. Check the sauce consistency; if it appears too thick, add an additional 50 g of vegetable stock. Replace the Varoma and continue cooking.
7. Carefully remove the Varoma. Check if the cod is cooked through (it should flake easily with a fork). Set the cod aside.
8. Check the consistency of the tomato sauce in the mixing bowl. If you prefer a smoother sauce, blend 5 sec/Speed 5. For the last 1-2 minutes, cook 90°C/Speed 1 (Reverse) to settle and prevent sticking.
9. Serve the steamed cod fillets immediately, topped with the Mediterranean tomato sauce. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
