Roasted Haddock with a Smokey Tomato & Chickpea Ragu
People have gone wild for the chickpea at the minute. Whether it was a stockpile classic I donβt know but I have not been able to get my hands on a tin for months! Which has left the og chickpea lovers deprived and dare I say deflated π finally got my hands on some this week and made this super easy, super healthy, Mediterranean style haddock dish
Full of protein, fibre, healthy fats and vitamins. Tomatoes are a really good source of vitamin C, betacarotene and lycopene. So, lots of antioxidant properties ππ»

π
1 red onion, thinly sliced π

π
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar π
~ 1 400g tin chopped tomatoes π
2 handfuls cherry tomatoes, halved

2 handfuls kale
π
1 tin chickpeas, drained
π
250g-300g Haddock fillet
π
Pesto to serve
1. Fry off your onion and garlic in some oil until soft
2. Add the balsamic vinegar and cook for a few mins before adding the cherry tomatoes, chopped tomatoes, paprika and oregano/z’atar, season well. Cook on medium for approx 15mins
3. Add the kale and chickpeas and stir to combine then pour into an oven dish
4. Place the haddock fillet on top, cover with foil and bake in the oven for 15-20mins
Served with a big dollop of pesto on top. This was a basil and walnut pesto. I absolutely love mixing up the nuts I use in pesto as itβs a great way of getting the nutrient benefits of the different nuts and seeds. Brazil nut and walnut are my 2 faves ππΌ
