Yield Serves 4 to 5 as a main course, 8 as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups cooked chickpeas (see Note) or 2 15-ounce cans
6 or 7 large garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
4 or 5 hot peppers or 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon toasted cumin seeds, ground
2 pounds cod fillets, about 1 inch thick
salt
freshly ground black pepper
cilantro or parsley sprigs
lemon wedges

Steps:

  • If canned chickpeas are used, rinse and drain them. Combine the cooked or canned chickpeas in a saucepan with the garlic, peppers or flakes, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, and 1/4 cup of water. Bring the liquid to a simmer, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Remove and discard the whole peppers, if you used them. Add the cumin to the chickpeas and spread half the mixture in the bottom of a 9-inch-square baking dish. Place the fish on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and finish with the remaining chickpeas. Drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the top. Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the fish is just flaky but not falling apart; check after 20 minutes.
  • Serve the fish hot or warm, garnished with cilantro or parsley and lemon wedges.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try and I was pleasantly surprised. The cod was cooked beautifully and the sauce was flavorful without being too overpowering. The chickpeas added a nice touch of texture and heartiness.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The cod was a bit overcooked and the chickpeas were undercooked. The sauce was also a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed this dish more if the fish and chickpeas had been cooked properly.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The cod was dry and the chickpeas were mushy. The sauce was also bland and lacked flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this dish again.
