- Small handful of black olives 
- 1/2 ring of chorizo, diced

- 1 garlic clove, finely grated 
- 1 tbsp water 
- 2 cod fillets (or chicken thighs) 
- 1 tbsp olive oil 
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley 
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt or 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 garlic clove, grated 
- Breadcrumbs 
- 10g finely grated Parmesan 
Instructions-
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). 
- In a baking tray, combine the butter beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, green pepper, black olives, and 1/2 of the diced chorizo. 
- In a separate bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing together the tomato purée, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, pesto, grated garlic, and 1 tablespoon of water. Once well combined, pour the dressing over the ingredients in the baking tray. 
- Place the cod fillets (or chicken thighs) on top of the vegetable mixture in the tray. 
- In a separate bowl, make the breadcrumb mixture by combining breadcrumbs, finely grated Parmesan, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, and garlic salt (or 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 grated garlic clove). Mix everything together. 
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cod fillets, ensuring they are well covered. 
- Roast the entire tray in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cod (or chicken) is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy. 
- Once the cod (or chicken) is cooked, remove it from the tray and set it aside to rest. 
- If needed, return the vegetable mixture to the oven for additional cooking after giving it a good mix. 
- Serve the roasted cod (or chicken) alongside the roasted vegetable and chorizo mixture.
