Tip

Buy from a sustainable source
Concerned about over-fishing? Organically farmed cod is a sustainable option. You’ll find it in supermarkets under the ‘No catch’ label.Make it with chicken
Chunky chicken stew: Cook the garlic, cumin and paprika as before. Cut 300g new potatoes in half and 4 skinless chicken breasts into chunks. Stir the potatoes into the pan along with the tomatoes and water, bring up to the boil, then simmer for 5 mins. Add the chicken and peppers, then simmer for another 10 mins; the chicken should be cooked through and the potatoes tender. Serve with coriander and lemon.

Method

  1. Heat oil in a saucepan. Tip in the garlic, cumin and paprika and cook for 1 min. Add 100ml water and the tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat. Add the pepper, simmer for 5 mins. Add the fish, simmer for 5 mins. Serve with coriander and a wedge of lemon.
