Fishy stew

Rianna loves this

Small pice of plain cod diced

finely dice, 2 mediumsized potatoes, 1 large carrot, half a courgette, half a parsnip, and some swede(optional), and about quarter of a large onion.

chuck it all into a sauce pan, sprinkle some mixed herbs and about half a crushed clove of garlic, and a handful of peas.

cover with water so it just covers the food, simmer for roughly half hour 45 mins til veggies nice and soft.

grate some cheese and stir in while still hot, to your own taste, obviously not too strong.

et voila ready to serve, even dh loves it
