Paprika infuses this easy fish stew with a smoky depth. Zesty lemon and briny olives add contrasting freshness, while potatoes and chickpeas make it a filling family dinner.

1 tsp smoked paprika
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 tbsp tomato purée
Small handful parsley, stems finely chopped and leaves roughly chopped

Method

Heat the oil in a medium deep frying pan or casserole, then add the peppers and cook for 4 minutes until blistered in places. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the potatoes and paprika. Cook, stirring regularly, for 8 minutes.
Add the garlic, tomato purée and parsley stems, then cook for another minute. Stir in the stock and chickpeas and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Season the fish, then nestle it into the pan. Scatter over the olives and lemon zest, then cook for 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque. Serve with the parsley leaves scattered over and the zested lemon cut into wedges for squeezing.
