Bonito with Tomato, Chickpeas & Preserved Lemons

This dish utilises Moroccan flavours. The gateway between Europe and Africa, only 14km from Spain at its closest point, Morocco's long history of trade and conquest is reflected in its cooking and ingredients.

Serves 4

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 teaspoons ground coriander
Salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
400g canned tomatoes
400g cooked chickpeas, rinsed and drained
½ cup water
1 preserved lemon, rinsed, skin only finely sliced
750g Bonito steaks, cut into 3cm cubes (see notes)
½ cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
⅓ cup roughly chopped coriander
Couscous or Lebanese bread, to serve

Heat a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the oil and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the ground coriander, salt and pepper. Add tomatoes, chickpeas and water and cook for 15 minutes. Add preserved lemon and cook for 5 minutes. Add the Bonito and carefully stir through. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until it's cooked through or to your liking (see notes). Remove from heat and stir through the parsley and coriander.
 
Serve with couscous or Lebanese bread.

Notes: Bonito can be served rare in the centre, if you plan to serve it this way, buy sashimi-grade fish

Alternative Species: Albacore, Mackerel, Marlin, Swordfish, Tuna.
