Potatoes
Pre-Heat oven to 220/200 Fan.
Pour the vegetable oil into a small roasting tin and place in the oven.
Peel the potatoes and cut into 2cm cubes.
Place in a pan of cold water, bring to the boil, and immediately drain and air dry.
Meanwhile finely chop the rosemary.
Remove the roasting tin from the oven and toss the potatoes in the oil with the rosemary and garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
Return to the oven for 30 minutes.
Cod Loin
Heat a tablespoon of Olive Oil in a large frying pan.
Fry the diced pancetta until it starts to colour and remove from pan and set aside.
Deglaze the pan with 1 Tablespoon of Dry Marsala and add the finely chopped shallots.
Put a small pan of water on to boil.
Make a cartouche from slightly damp greaseproof paper and place over the shallots.
Cook until soft.
Finely chop the cavolo nero into thin strips.
Place two thirds of the cavolo nero into the boiling water and blanch for 2 minutes.
Massage the remaining cavolo nero leaves with the teaspoon of olive oil and season.
Drain the cavolo nero and run under cold water – shake off excess water and let it drain in a colander.
Heat a small frying pan and a splash of olive oil, and once hot fry the pancetta rashers until crisp and set aside.
Add the chicken stock to the cooked shallots and reduce by half.
Reduce oven temperature to 180/160 fan (this should be once the potatoes have been in for 30 minutes).
Take the small frying pan used for the pancetta rashers and place on a high heat with a Tablespoon of Olive Oil.
Once hot, place the cod loins skin side down until you have a crisp skin, approximately 3 minutes.
Add the Cooked cavolo nero to the chicken stock and mix together with the frozen peas and diced pancetta.
Place the remaining cavolo nero (tossed in the olive oil) on a baking tray and place in the oven.
Transfer the fish to a baking tray and place in the oven skin side up for 4-6 minutes.
Add the 80ml of double cream to the stock, cavolo nero and pancetta and continue to reduce.
Season and taste.
Remove the cavolo nero from the oven and combine with the pancetta rashers to form crumbs.
Place the cavolo nero , pea and diced pancetta mix in the middle of two pasta bowls and pour over the sauce.
Remove the cod from the oven and place on top of the cavolo nero mixture.
Sprinkle over the cavolo nero and pancetta crumb and serve with the potatoes on the side.
