Heat oil in a saucepan. Tip in the garlic, cumin and paprika and cook for 1 min. Add 100ml water and the tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat. Add the pepper, simmer for 5 mins. Add the fish, simmer for 5 mins. Serve with coriander and a wedge of lemon.

Make it with chicken

Chunky chicken stew: Cook the garlic, cumin and paprika as before. Cut 300g new potatoes in half and 4 skinless chicken breasts into chunks. Stir the potatoes into the pan along with the tomatoes and water, bring up to the boil, then simmer for 5 mins. Add the chicken and peppers, then simmer for another 10 mins; the chicken should be cooked through and the potatoes tender. Serve with coriander and lemon.

I absolutely loved this, as did my husband. Really nice amount of spice to it and particularly with hot crusty bread to mop up the lovely juices. I read the reviews before making and adopted some of the changes. I added plenty of green olives, some tomato puree, black pepper, a dash of worcester sauce and some fresh red chilli and dried basil to pep it up a bit. Next time I will also add some chopped chorizo as we both thought this would compliment the dish loads. Total winner in our house and will make it again lots of times I'm sure!

We really enjoyed this, we added tomato purÃ©e to thicken up the juice and had it alongside some warm baked crusty bread.

It was a little bland to be honest. I added a tablespoon of fish sauce and next time I will go with some of the other reviewers and add a chili. The prawns sound good as well. However, it was a very quick dish to make and I will certainly try it again. Crusty bread or rolls is a perfect accompaniment
