Spiced White Fish + Chickpea Tagine

Cooking fish can be a bit scary for people, but here you gently poach the fish on top of a deeply spiced tagine base, packed with spices, harissa and (of course!) chickpeas! And to top there’s a briney, herby, nutty and zesty sorta-salsa, which brings the whole thing to life.

Alternatively, this could be a one-pot belter to keep veggie, and just let the chickpeas do the talking.

Directions

1

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep frying pan and put over a medium-high heat. Scrape in the onion and add a pinch of salt. Cook for 6 minutes until softening, then scrape in the garlic and cook for another minute.

2

Sprinkle in 1 tbsp of the ras el hanout, ½ the chopped preserved lemon, rose harissa and sweet potato. Cook for 3 minutes, tossing everything together. Pour in the chickpeas, along with all of their liquid, the tin of cherry tomatoes and the vegetable stock.

3

Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes until thickened and reduced slightly.

4

Toss the monkfish pieces in the remaining tbsp of ras el hanout and nestle into the pan. Put on a lid and simmer gently for 8 minutes.

5

Meanwhile, put the flaked almonds into a small frying pan over a medium-high heat and toast, tossing regularly for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Tip into a bowl and mix with the remaining preserved lemon and chopped green olives and parsley.

6

Ladle the tagine into bowls and top with the almond and olive topper.
