Instructions

1. Heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large lidded pan over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
2. Add the 4 minced garlic cloves and cook very briefly, stirring often, until fragrant. Add the 2 tbsp tomato paste, the 2 diced medium tomatoes and the sliced red pepper, and cook 3 to 4 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently.
3. Add the chickpeas, 1 1/2 cup water, the cilantro, the 4 sliced garlic cloves, kosher salt, black pepper and 1/2 tsp Ras El Hanout. If needed, raise the heat and bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover partly and simmer about 20 minutes, adding a little water if needed.
4. Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1 tsp Ras El Hanout with the 1/2 tsp cumin and 3/4 tsp paprika. Season the 1 1/2 lb cod pieces with salt, pepper and the spice mix on both sides, then drizzle generously with olive oil and rub to coat.
5. Nestle the cod into the chickpea and tomato sauce, spooning some sauce over the top. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon and the lemon rounds. Cook 10 to 15 minutes over medium-low heat until the fish is fully cooked and flaky.
6. Garnish with more fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
