Method

  1. In a small bowl, mix the parsley with ½ the garlic and lemon zest, then set aside. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large sauté pan. Throw in the onion and potatoes, cover the pan, then sweat everything for about 5 mins until the onion has softened. Add the remaining oil, garlic and spices, then cook for 2 mins more.
  2. Pour over the lemon juice and sizzle for a moment. Add the tomatoes, ½ a can of water and crumble in the stock. Season with a little salt, then cover the pan. Simmer everything for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are just cooked.
  3. Stir through the prawns and chickpeas, then nestle the fish chunks into the top of the stew. Reduce the heat and recover the pan, then cook for about 8 mins, stirring very gently once or twice. When the fish is just cooked through, remove from the heat, scatter with the parsley mix, then bring the dish to the table with the bottle of olive oil for drizzling over and some crusty bread, if you want.

    I added a fennel bulb to this which worked well. Don't be tempted to add more spice, it is at just the right level.

    Great recipe. I used supermarket basics range sustainable pollack together with some more expensive prawns to make this a good value supper. I added the whole can of chick peas rather than just half and the balance of ingredients was spot on. I Also missed out the fish stock cube and used some veg stock instead. I will be making this again (tonight to be precise) and would recommend it.

    I didn't have chick peas so used a (whole) can of haricots instead and it was delicious. I didn't have quite enough fish either but it didn't matter at all.

    This looks as a super recipe, which I will certainly try out. My husband does not like fish but may be this way I can serve it to him. Nice to eat on a cold day here in the Netherlands.

    I didn't have prawns, so just used a bit more salmon and again the whole tin of chickpeas. It was lovely! I intend to use salmon and cod next time.

    Nice balance of flavours. Used whole can of chickpeas, like many others. The parsley, lemon and garlic topping really gave it a lift. Don't cut your fish too small, or it will fall apart.

    Very tasty and very easy. I bought regular baking potatoes and they took much longer took, so make sure that they are soft before adding the fish. I will definitely be making again.

    I made this and tasted just before adding the fish but found it really salty so decided not to add the fish and make fish pie instead. Quite sad as I was really looking forward to this. Any ideas?

    I was in a rush making this and didn't read the recipe properly, so I added the garlic, lemon and parsley mix to the fried onion but it still tasted really good. I added a whole tin of chickpeas and a handful of prawns and to be honest, if you were on a budget it didn't really need the fish as well. It would have been perfectly good without it.

    I forgot the lemon and added a fresh chilli, which I love. The taste was wonderful. I had some fresh bread from the Turkish bakery to mop up the juices..Delicous! Will definately be making this again.

    Much tastier than it should be given how simple it is!! I have made this a few times and use a whole tin of chickpeas. I also add the lemon zest in at the tomato stage and that works well. I agree the fish chunks need to be large. The kids love it too which is always a bonus. Spot on.

    Made this last night with fresh snapper caught by my husband. He saved a piece of snapper to fry up in case this dish was a dud - he didn't like the idea of a "stew". After two huge helpings and declaring the remainder his for lunch the next day, he admitted it was a winner. I didn't use prawns, just fish and drizzled the completed dish with olive oil at the end and served with crusty italian bread - divine. This will definitely be a regular in my household. Thanks!
