Add the tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in the chickpeas, carrots and raisins and cook for another 5 minutes.

Submerge the fish in the sauce, cover and cook on the lowest possible heat for 5 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked and still moist. Check seasoning.

Add the fresh coriander and serve with the hot couscous.
