Cod With Spiced Red Lentils image

This dish has quickly become a family favourite. Easy, healthy and delicious, with just the right amount of spiciness. The recipe as-is can come out more like a stew, so if you want it to be a plate (not bowl) dish, decrease the liquid a little and be careful as the cod releases a lot of water when cooking.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup red lentil
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 1/2 cups fish stock
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
1 lb cod fish fillet, skinned and cut into large chunks
salt, to taste
lemon wedge (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Put the lentils in a saucepan with the turmeric and stock. Bring to the boil, cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the lentils are just tender. Remove from the heat and add salt.
  • Heat the oil in a small frying pan. Add the cumin seeds and, when they begin to pop, add the ginger and cayenne pepper. Stir-fry the spices for a few seconds, then pour on to the lentils. Add the lemon juice and the coriander and stir them gently into the mixture.
  • Lay the pieces of cod on top of the lentils, cover the pan and then cook gently over a low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is tender.
  • Serve garnished with chopped coriander leaves and one or two lemon wedges.
