Cod With Spiced Red Lentils image

This dish has quickly become a family favourite. Easy, healthy and delicious, with just the right amount of spiciness. The recipe as-is can come out more like a stew, so if you want it to be a plate (not bowl) dish, decrease the liquid a little and be careful as the cod releases a lot of water when cooking.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup red lentil
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 1/2 cups fish stock
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
1 lb cod fish fillet, skinned and cut into large chunks
salt, to taste
lemon wedge (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Put the lentils in a saucepan with the turmeric and stock. Bring to the boil, cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the lentils are just tender. Remove from the heat and add salt.
  • Heat the oil in a small frying pan. Add the cumin seeds and, when they begin to pop, add the ginger and cayenne pepper. Stir-fry the spices for a few seconds, then pour on to the lentils. Add the lemon juice and the coriander and stir them gently into the mixture.
  • Lay the pieces of cod on top of the lentils, cover the pan and then cook gently over a low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is tender.
  • Serve garnished with chopped coriander leaves and one or two lemon wedges.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lentils turned out mushy. Other than that, the dish was still pretty good.

I had some trouble finding cod at my local grocery store, so I used tilapia instead. It turned out just as good!

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not used to eating spicy food. Other than that, it was a great recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt to the lentils.

This cod with spiced red lentils dish was a hit with my family! The lentils were perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the cod was moist and flaky. The spices added a nice depth of flavor without being overpowering.
