This Moroccan Plate leans on cumin and coriander to do the heavy lifting. We crisp the Cod for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

Cumin and coriander Cod Plate
Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the cumin and coriander elements, and pat the cod dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the cod. Fry until deeply crisp and golden, then drain on paper and season straight away.

Stir in the harissa and the rest of the cumin and coriander flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the sweetcorn along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
