About

An excellent mullet dish cooked in a thick aromatic sauce with plenty of vegetables and chickpeas. I like to cook this dish in an aluminum pot, like they do the traditional way, to try and capture the exact flavor and mood of the recipe. This recipe also works well with grouper, sea bass, or drum fish.

Ingredients

1 pound (450 grams) potatoes, peeled and cut into ¼-inch (5 millimeter) slices (about 3 medium potatoes)
1 pound

Method

Prepare the sauce: In a wide, shallow pot (preferably aluminum, though other pots are fine) arrange the potato slices in an even layer. Then layer on the tomato slices, bell peppers strips, chile pepper, and garlic slices. Season with turmeric, cumin, paprika, and salt. Add the water, oil, harissa, lemon, and half of the cilantro, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minut
