Morse.

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat in large pot. Add paprika, cumin, turmeric and pepper. Cook, stirring, until spices are heated, 1 to 2 minutes.

2. Add broth, parsley, cilantro, tomatoes, carrots and turnips. Cover and heat to boil on medium-high heat. Cook until carrots are tender-crisp, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add zucchini and peppers; cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

3. Heat oven to 200 degrees. Transfer vegetables to an oven-proof dish with slotted spoon, and keep warm, covered, in oven. Discard parsley and cilantro. Keep broth simmering on stove.

4. Cut fish into 3-inch pieces. Heat remaining olive oil in medium skillet and cook garlic on medium heat until golden. Discard garlic. Cook fish fillets, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.

5. Add fish to broth and poach until fish loses its translucency, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer seafood to oven-proof dish with slotted spoon. Cover and keep warm in oven.

6. Prepare couscous according to package directions. To serve, mound couscous in the center of large, shallow platter. Set carrots and zucchini sticks on top of couscous like spokes of wheel. Set seafood and peppers around dish. Spoon remaining vegetables on top. Ladle a little broth over couscous. Serve with extra broth and harissa on the side.

Note: Harissa is a fiery hot sauce
made with chilies, garlic, cumin, coriander and caraway. Harissa, in cans and jars, is sold in Middle Eastern markets and some supermarkets.
