Step-by-step
- Heat half the oil in a large pan and add the diced vegetables, cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes, stirring to ensure they don't stick. Add the lentils and bay leaves, stir a couple of times and then add the stock and cook until the stock has been absorbed by the lentils, about 30 minutes.
- In a food processor blend 2 teaspoons of oil, breadcrumbs, herbs and the black olives until you have a smooth mix.
- Place the cod in a roasting tray and divide the olive mixture between the 4 fillets, press down with your fingers making sure you have an even distribution of the mix. Bake in an 180C oven for 7-8 minutes. Serve on top of the lentils.
