Рецепт Moroccan Fish Stew Recipe
We often serve a hearty fish soup or stew on Christmas Eve, prior to our traditional roast for Christmas Dinner. Normally, it's Cioppino or Clam Chowder, but this year I decided to try something different. This stew had big time flavor, and was roundly regarded as being as good as or better than our Cioppino. If you've never had a North African Fish Stew or this Moroccan version, you're in for a real treat. I made two pots of this, one with the jalapenos and one without for the kids. If you can tolerate the heat of the jalapenos, I would highly recommend adding them.

Инструкции
- In a large bowl, combine 4 teaspoons of the cumin with the coriander, caraway, paprika, pepper, lemon juice, zest and half the olive oil. Cut the fish into 1 to 2-inch pieces and toss it with the marinade. Refrigerate for up to 1 hour if you have time.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Put the couscous in a large heatproof bowl. When the water boils, pour it over the couscous and cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let the couscous sit at least 10 minutes.
- Chop the bell pepper, onion, carrot and jalapeno. Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. When it's hot and shimmering, stir in all of the vegetables, the remaining 4 teaspoons of cumin and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are soft, 5-7 minutes.
- Add the stock, wine, tomato purée and chickpeas, and season with another sprinkling of salt and pepper. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
- Add the fish and simmer the stew unti the fish is just cooked through, another 10-15 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season to taste with salt and pepper. Fluff the couscous with a fork. To serve, add some couscous to each bowl and top with the stew.
