Method

  1. Heat oil in a wide heavy-based pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and ras el hanout and cook for 2 minutes, then add tomato, honey, zest and 1 cup (250ml) water, bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer, season and cook for 7 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly.
  2. Add fish and chickpeas and cook for 3–4 minutes until fish is just cooked. Remove from heat and gently stir in half the herbs and half the lemon juice.
  3. Cook couscous according to packet instructions. Drain, combine in a bowl with remaining herbs and lemon juice.
  4. Season. Scatter curry with extra parsley, mint, almonds and lemon zest and serve with pearl couscous, harissa and rainbow chard.
