Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs MSC certified wild cod, cut into 2-inch pieces

Method
- In a large heavy pot or Dutch oven (or traditional tagine if you have one), heat olive oil over medium heat until just warm. Add onions and increase heat to medium-high. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring regularly so they don’t burn.
- Add garlic and prepared vegetables. Add spices and season with salt to taste. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Add tomatoes, apricot and broth and cook for 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer for another 20 to 25 minutes or until veggies are tender.
- Reduce heat to low, add cod and chickpeas and cook for 10 minutes.
- Stir in lemon juice and fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Transfer to serving bowls and top each with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Serve with your favorite bread, couscous or rice.
