Moroccan Spiced Roasted Vegetables with Cod
"A light and healthy roast that packs a punch, one you can cook for yourself, your family and for a dinner party. We do love our dinners! In my home we enjoy a Moroccan inspired meal at least once a week and it is one of your most requested cuisines at the cookery school. We love to serve this with couscous (as per the recipe). Or try with a hint of heightened sophistication of saffron or preserved lemon." - Lerato
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C fan/200°c and line a large baking tray with parchment.
Step 2
Pat dry the cod using a kitchen towel before brushing fish on both sides with olive oil and season with sea salt flakes and black pepper. Set aside
Step 3
Toast the coriander seeds in a dry frying pan for 1 minute before grinding them to a coarse consistency with pestle & mortar or using a spice grinder. Cooking with whole seeds is life-changing. I promise you! But please feel free to use readily available ground spices as they are time-savers.
Step 4
Season chopped veg with crushed toasted spices, all other dry spices and mix well with the remaining olive oil.
Step 5
Spread onto your lined baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes. Add the cod and bake for a further 8-10 minutes.
Step 6
If serving with cous cous add this to a bowl and pour on stock or boiling water until fully submerged. Leave to swell for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork and seasoning with a little salt and pepper.
Step 7
Serve the fish and veg onto plates (and the cous cous if using) plus a good spritz of lemon juice. Et voilà! Minimal effort with maximum flavour!
