Roast cod with upmarket mushy peas



This was a brief and simple lunch that i had the other day.  The mushy peas were a great success while the roast cod was a little disappointing.  I found that the flour outside didn't really crisp up very well, and just became a bit hard and dry.  Maybe breadcrumbs would work better?

- Cook 1 head of garlic (separated but unpeeled) in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 10 mins.
- Take out the cloves, peel them, add them back to the water, and add 800g frozen petit pois.
- Cook until slightly more done than normal, drain them, then put in a food processor together with 100g butter.
- Once processed, add 4 tablespoons double cream and process again.
- For the cod, heat up 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pan that can also be put in the oven.
- Coat 4 cod fillets (about 200g each) in 1 tablespoon flour, adding salt and pepper.
- Sear the fillets on each side in the pan on the hob, then transfer to the oven and cook for 7-10 mins at 200C.
