Steps:
- Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add shallots and zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden-brown in places, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add bulgur and 1/4 teaspoon harissa; cook until nutty and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, clam juice, and 1/2 cup water; bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season fish with salt, pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon harissa. Nestle fish into bulgur mixture in a single layer, cover, and continue cooking until fish is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes (depending on thickness). Remove from heat, cover, and let stand a few minutes. Serve with mint and a drizzle of oil.
COD AND CHORIZO STEW WITH GRILLED GARLIC BREAD
Steps:
- Heat the 1/4 cup olive oil in a large saute pan or deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onions and chopped garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and just starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly rendered, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Crush the tomatoes by hand and add them to the pan along with their juices. Stir in the chipotle and paprika, then stir in the chickpeas and roasted red peppers; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then nestle the cod in the stew. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the cod is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat a cast-iron grill pan over high heat. Brush the bread with olive oil and grill, flipping once, until lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Rub the grilled bread with the whole garlic clove and season with salt and pepper.
- Garnish the stew and bread with the parsley and serve right away.
SAUTéED COD WITH POTATOES IN CHORIZO-MUSSEL BROTH
This recipe came to The Times in 2002 from the French chef Eric Ripert, whose cooking at Le Bernardin carries flavors reminiscent of his culinary training near the Spanish border. Quickly sautéed cod is placed on a bed of potatoes with a savory, supple broth ladled over. It takes not too much time, and it is delicious.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush unpeeled garlic with a teaspoon of olive oil, wrap in foil, bake 40 minutes. Meanwhile, place potatoes in pot of salted water to cover, bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat until very tender, about 30 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in 3-quart saucepan. Add sliced shallots and sliced garlic, cook over low heat until soft but not colored, add wine, bring to a simmer and add mussels. Cover and cook until mussels open, about 3 minutes. Drain through a fine sieve, and reserve cooking liquid. Shuck mussels and reserve, covered. Clean pan.
- Place 2 tablespoons oil in mussel pan. Add minced shallots and minced garlic. Sauté until soft. Add chorizo, and sauté until starting to brown. Add clam juice and mussel cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer, add 1 branch each thyme and rosemary, remove from heat, add shucked mussels, and set aside, covered.
- When roasted garlic is done, remove it from foil, and peel cloves. When potatoes are done, drain them, and return them to cooking pot. Mash with a fork, adding roasted garlic cloves, butter, and 4 tablespoons olive oil. Place over low heat, fold in 4 tablespoons parsley, add 2 teaspoons lemon juice and season to taste with salt. Set aside over very low heat.
- Pat fish dry, and season with salt and pepper on both sides. In heavy skillet large enough to hold fish without crowding, add remaining oil. Place over high heat. When oil is hot, sauté fish, turning once, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
- Reheat chorizo-mussel broth over low heat, and add remaining lemon juice. Remove thyme and rosemary, and add remaining parsley.
- To serve, place a portion of potatoes in center of each of four shallow soup plates. Place a portion of fish on potatoes. Spoon broth, chorizo and mussels around potatoes, and garnish with thyme and rosemary.
