Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 cup chopped shallots (from 2)
1 zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons (1 1/2 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup cracked bulgur
1 1/4 teaspoons harissa powder
10 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved (2 cups)
8 ounces clam juice
4 skinless cod fillets (each 5 to 6 ounces)
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh mint leaves, sliced if large

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add shallots and zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden-brown in places, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add bulgur and 1/4 teaspoon harissa; cook until nutty and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, clam juice, and 1/2 cup water; bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, season fish with salt, pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon harissa. Nestle fish into bulgur mixture in a single layer, cover, and continue cooking until fish is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes (depending on thickness). Remove from heat, cover, and let stand a few minutes. Serve with mint and a drizzle of oil.

Avoid! This recipe was a complete waste of time. The cod was overcooked and the bulgur was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Meh. This recipe was just so-so. The cod was bland and the bulgur was boring. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone.

Not bad! This recipe was okay. The cod was a little dry, but the bulgur and vegetables were tasty. I might try it again with a different fish.
