2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter

Cooking Tools
2 skillets
Blender

Directions
In a skillet on medium heat, melt butter.  Add in onions, garlic and saute until translucent.  Stir in sweet peas,  green onions, mint, parsley, Herb De Provence, salt, pepper and saute for about 5 minutes.  Lower the heat and add to the skillet chicken stock and heavy cream, cook until bubbly.  Place the pea mixture into the blender and blend for 1 minutes. ( take caution in blending, place a small towel over the lid, just in case of hot liquid seeps out). Set aside peas in the blender.  Cook Chorizo in a skillet on medium heat and break apart.  Cook the sausage until nice and crispy.  Drain on some paper towel and set aside.  In the same pan that you cooked the peas, wipe off any cooked debris, place on high heat.  Coat each cod filet with olive oil, salt and pepper each side.  Place cod filets on preheated skillet on medium high heat and cook 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the cod fillet.  To assemble:  Place 1 cup of Pea Puree to the bottom of a serving bowl.  Place cod fillet on top and sprinkle with Chorizo crumbles.  Garnish with some green onions.
