Slow-Cooked Cod Medley

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the brown sugar and bourbon elements, and pat the cod dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the cod. Cover and cook low and slow, stirring now and then, until rich and spoonable.

Stir in the smoked paprika and the rest of the brown sugar and bourbon flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the kale along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
