Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil in a deep, ovenproof frying pan, tip in the 7-spice and sizzle for a moment. Add the ginger and chilli, give it a stir, then add the chickpeas, stirring to coat them with the spices. Pour in the tomatoes, season to taste and bring to the boil.
  2. Season the fish and place on top of the chickpea mix, skin side down. Splash some of the sauce over the fish, then roast for 12 mins, or until the fish flakes when gently pressed. Scatter over the coriander and serve.

To cut down on chopping, use 3-4 tbsp Bart's ginger paste in sunflower oil instead of fresh ginger.

    Very tasty, quick and nutritious. But don't add the chilli unless you like your food with a real kick - the thai 7 spice alone contains quite a lot of chilli!

    Any idea what you could instead of Thai 7 spice in case I cannot find it here in Iceland?

    Inga - I tend to use garam masala instead as I felt I already had too many spice mixes in my cupboard and wouldn't use Thai 7-spice often enough to make it worth it. Just use whatever you like!

    Really quick & easy. Very tasty but I think I overdid the 7 spice which had us rather hot & sweaty!! Other than that it was lovely and would def make again.

    I used Ras El Hanout spice mix as I didn't have Thai 7 Spice and added chilli but it was a little too hot so will halve the chilli next time. Quick and easy to make but nothing special.

    I agree with Inga in Iceland - I live in France and cannot get Thai 7-spice. Could someone let us know what spices are in the Thai 7-spice mix and perhaps we could make our own? Thanks!

    Have made this loads of times, really lovely flavours but often comes out a bit watery - not sure if this is the tinned tomatoes or perhaps the fish (usually use haddock)??? Anyone got any ideas on how to prevent this? Thanks

    A lovely recipe which I have done quite a few times (a good way to do fish in the winter), although I only use 1 tsp of 7spice, otherwise I think it might blow my head off!

    This was lovely, except that I over did it with a scotch bonnet chili. Will definatley do again, minus that.

    I have cooked this before a long time ago and thought that the ginger was way too over-powering. I think that was because i found it hard to grate it fine enough and it was a bit too fibreous (spelling??) for my liking. Im going to try this recipe again tomorrow as I now have a super-duper contraption for getting ginger grated perfectly without all the fibres. Cant wait!
