Ingredients

1 tbsp cold-pressed rapeseed oil

2 large garlic cloves, finely sliced
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp chilli flakes
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
400g can chopped tomatoes
375g sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1 yellow pepper, deseeded and cut into chunks
1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into chunks
400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
juice 1 large orange, the peel thickly sliced with a vegetable peeler

Tip

Cooking for two

If cooking for two, chill the remaining portions after step 2, before adding the fish. When ready to serve, simply reheat on the hob, add the remaining fish and cook as above until piping hot throughout.

Method

Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish or saucepan and gently fry the onion, leeks and fennel for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, or until the veg is well softened and lightly browned. Add the garlic and spices, and cook for 30 secs more. Season well with ground black pepper.
Tip in the chopped tomatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, chickpeas, orange juice and peel with 300ml water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover loosely and cook for 20 mins, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are softened but not breaking apart.
Add the fish pieces on top of the bubbling liquid and cover. Poach over a medium heat for 3-4 mins or until the fish is just cooked. Adjust the seasoning and serve scattered with parsley.
