Ingredients
- Olive Oil: 1 tbsp olive oil
- Onion: 2 onions, finely sliced
- Carrot: 3 carrots, grated
- Lemon: 4 thin lemon slices
- Baby Spinach: 200g baby spinach
- Chicken Stock: 700ml weak chicken stock (we made using 1 stock cube)
- Cumin Seed: 2 tsp cumin seed
- Harissa: 2 tbsp harissa
- Fish: 4 firm white fish fillets
- Dried Apricot: 6 dried apricots, chopped
- Bulgur Wheat: 200g bulgur wheat
Directions
- Heat the oil in a lidded flameproof casserole dish. Tip in the onions and cook for 10 mins until soft and golden. Add the carrots and cumin, and cook for 2 mins more. Stir through the harissa, bulgur and apricots, pour over the stock and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 7 mins.
- Add the spinach and stir through until just wilted. Arrange the fish fillets on top, pop a slice of lemon on each and season. Replace the lid and cook for 8 mins, keeping over a low-ish heat.
- Turn heat to low and cook for 7-8 mins more until the fish is cooked through and the bulgur is tender. Season with pepper and serve.
