Before you begin...
This recipe takes around 5-10 min to prep, so get your casserole dish and all your ingredients ready, then wash your fruit and veg
Note: Make sure your dish is oven-proof and safe to use on the hob. Don't have one? Start cooking in a large, wide-based pan then transfer to an oven-proof dish

Now, let's get started!
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Boil a kettle
Heat a large, wide-based, hob-safe oven-proof casserole dish with a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat
Deseed your sweet pointed pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and slice into rings

Crush your garlic open by squashing with the side of a knife and remove the skin, then chop roughly
Add the sliced pepper and chopped garlic to the dish with your ground smoked paprika, bay leaf[ves] and cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!)

Drain and rinse your chickpeas and add them to the dish with your chopped tomatoes and black olives and give everything a good mix up

Sprinkle in your vegetable stock mix and add 450ml [580ml] [760ml] boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Put the dish in the oven for an initial 15 min
Use this time to clear up, set the table, have a cup of tea or simply chill!

After 15 min, remove the dish from the oven, add your giant couscous and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper
Top with your hake fillet[s]

Return the dish to the oven for 12-15 min further or until the couscous is tender and the fish is cooked through
Tip: Your fish is cooked once it turns opaque and flakes easily

To serve, break the fish up into rough bite-sized pieces and tear your parsley & dill all over – this is your one-pot smoky Spanish-style hake & giant couscous stew
Discard the bay leaf[ves]
Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with a grind of black pepper
