Pan-fried hake, white bean & chorizo broth
Ahoy there, foodies! Today I've got a tasty tale for you with my pan-fried hake, white bean & chorizo broth recipe. Let's get started with those dried white beans - don't forget to soak them overnight or else you'll end up like me, frantically trying to cook them last minute with a pressure cooker (not recommended). While the beans are simmering away with garlic, bay leaves, and thyme, here's a tip for you: add a splash of white wine for an extra depth of flavor - it's my secret twist that never fails to impress. Once your broth is ready, it's time to fry up that hake and chorizo until golden and crispy. Pro tip: make sure your pan is hot enough before adding the fish, or you'll end up with soggy fillets (we don't want that, do we?). Serve up your hake swimming in that flavorful broth, with a side of crusty bread for dipping. This dish will transport you straight to the sunny shores of Spain - just close your eyes and take a bite. Bon appétit!

Flip the fish over and cook for a further 3-5 mins until cooked through. Spoon the white bean mix into bowls, place the hake on top and finish with the fried bread, chorizo and a little more thyme.
