Moroccan Fish Stew
Ingredients:
-
Olive oil for sauteeing
-
1 red onion, diced
-
2 cloves of garlic, grated or minced
-
3cm knob of fresh ginger, grated or minced
-
1 tsp ground cumin
-
1 tsp turmeric
-
1 tsp cinnamon
-
1/4-1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper or chilli
-
400g tin of chopped tomatoes
-
250ml water
-
300g Unbattered Vegan Fish (Lamyong Chunky Fish is my fave)
-
400g tin of chickpeas
-
1 tsp of sugar
Method:
-
Heat the olive oil on a low heat and sautee your onion until it becomes soft and translucent, losing most of its vivid purple colour.
-
Add the garlic and ginger and sautee for another few minutes until well combined and all the mixture is highly aromatic.
-
Add the cumin, turmeric, and cinnamon stirring for a few minutes to toast them and bring out their flavour.
-
Add the cayenne/chilli and give a quick mix.
-
Add the tinned tomatoes and water and stew the mixture for 10 minutes allowing the flavours to mix and develop.
-
Add the “fish” and cook until tender, approx 5 minutes.
-
Stir through the chickpeas and the coconut sugar. You can add more or less sugar depending on your taste preferences. You may also wish to add salt.
-
Bon appetite! I typically serve this with wholemeal couscous with other sweet and savoury flavours such as sun-dried tomato and sultana.
