Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 fennel bulb, finely chopped

3 medium potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

1 teaspoon sweet paprika

1/4 teaspoon chilli flakes

Juice of 1 lemon

1 x 400 g (14 oz) tin chopped tomatoes

250 ml (8.5 fl oz) fish stock

125 g (4.5 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

250 g (9 oz) prawns, fresh or thawed from frozen

400 g (1 lb) white fish fillets, skinless and boneless

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large lidded pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 1–2 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and fennel; cook for another minute.
  2. Add potatoes, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in smoked paprika, sweet paprika, and chilli flakes to coat the potatoes.
  3. Pour in lemon juice, chopped tomatoes, and fish stock. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender.
  4. Stir in chickpeas and prawns. Place fish chunks on top, reduce heat, cover, and cook for 8–10 minutes until fish is cooked through.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with parsley, and serve hot with crusty bread.

Notes

  • For more heat, add extra chilli flakes or cayenne pepper.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach for variety.
  • Swap prawns for mussels, clams, or scallops.
  • Make it vegetarian by using vegetable stock and adding more chickpeas or white beans.
  • Herbs like thyme or bay leaves can boost flavor during simmering.
