Spanish Fish Stew with Green Beans and Cauliflower Couscous
Ingredients (serves 2):
For the Fish Stew:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion
2 tsp hot smoked paprika
200g passata
3 tbsp Dr Will’s Tomato Ketchup
250ml vegetable stock
500g cod fillets
150g king prawns
Can of chickpeas
1 lemon
Salt and pepper
1 large cauliflower
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
Green beans
Handful of flat leaf parsley
Method:
Heat the oil in a large pan over a low-medium heat. Dice the onion, add to the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
Add the paprika, passata, Dr Will’s Tomato Ketchup and vegetable stock, and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes, until thickened.
Cut the cauliflower into large florets and add to a food processor. Pulse the cauliflower until completely broken down into couscous-sized granules. (Alternatively, you can grate the florets on the large holes of a box grater – watch your fingers, though!)
Heat the oil or butter in a pan over a medium heat. Once hot, stir in the couscous and cook for 5-8 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender.
Cut the cod into large chunks and add to the tomato mix, along with the prawns and drained chickpeas*. Stir well to coat in the sauce and cook for a further 5 minutes, until both are just cooked through. Season to taste and finish with the zest and juice of half a lemon.
Meanwhile, cook the green beans in boiling water for 3-4 minutes. We haven’t specified portion size – it depends how much that tum's a-rumblin'.
To serve, heap half of the cauliflower couscous into a warm bowl, topped with the fish stew and a helping of beans. Add thick wedges of lemon, cut from the remaining piece of fruit. Finish with a scattering of fresh, chopped parsley. Dive in.
*If you’re using cooked king prawns, add to the pan for the final minute of cooking time otherwise they will become tough and rubbery – that would be shrimply terrible (sorry).
