This easy cod stew uses my delicious tomato base, that's packed with veg. I am a big fan of making a tasty base which can then be used across multiple dishes, simply by adapting the flavours. The tomato base in this recipe can also be used for for pastas, rice, soups, stews - you name it. The fish can be swapped out for any fish you like, I'm using cod here.
