Ingredients

    1 1/2 tbsp cumin
    1 tsp ground coriander
    2 tsp sweet paprika
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    1 lemon, juiced and zested
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1/2 pound cod, cut in 2" pieces
    1/2 cup whole-wheat couscous
    1 cup water
    1 medium red pepper, chopped
    1 medium white onion, chopped
    1 medium carrot, chopped
    1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
    4 cups water
    1/2 cup tomato paste

Directions

Combine 2 teaspoons of the cumin with the coriander, paprika, pepper, lemon juice, zest and 1 1/2 tbsp water.
Toss fish with the marinade. Refrigerate 1 hour.
Put the couscous in a large heatproof bowl, and bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
When the water boils, pour it over the couscous and cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let the couscous sit 10 minutes.
Over medium heat in a large pot, stir in all of the vegetables, the remaining cumin and a sprinkling of salt and pepper with 1/4 cup of water.
Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are soft, 5-7 minutes.
Add the stock and tomato paste.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 25 minutes.
Add the fish and simmer the stew until the fish is just cooked through, another 10-15 minutes.
To serve, add some couscous to each bowl and top with the stew.
