Method

1. On a medium heat, fry off onion, garlic, and coriander stalks in vegetable oil until the onions are soft but not browned.

3. Add two tins of chickpeas and water to the pan.
4. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 20 minutes adding water if it starts to dry out.
5. Using the back of a wooden spoon, drain and crush the remaining chickpeas. These will be used to thicken the sauce.
6. When the chickpeas are soft, add the cod, skin side up.
7. Cook for a further 12-20 minutes.
8. Lift the cod out so that it does not overcook and sprinkle the remaining chopped coriander.
