1 2 dried chilli flakes
1 t ground cumin
1/2 t ground coriander
1 t paprika
Saffron, a pinch
1 stick cinnamon

Heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the onion and cook gently until soft, but still pale. Add the garlic and spices and stir for 1 minute, or until fragrant, adding more oil if necessary.

Add the tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in the chickpeas, carrots and raisins and cook for another 5 minutes.

Submerge the fish in the sauce, cover and cook on the lowest possible heat for 5 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked and still moist. Check seasoning.

Add the fresh coriander and serve with the hot couscous.
