- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Pat the cod dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper.
- Lay the cod onto a lined baking tray. Sprinkle over a third of the Mexican style spice mix.
- When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until the fish is cooked, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw fish. Cook so they're opaque in the middle.
- Meanwhile, boil a half-full kettle.
- Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with ¼ tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.
- Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
- Crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
- When hot, add the pepper. Fry, 5-6 mins.
- Add the remaining Mexican style spice mix. Fry, 1 min.
- Add the passata, veg stock paste, sugar and water (see pantry for both).
- Simmer, 3-4 mins. Add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
- Serve the rice and veg between serving bowls.
- Top with the baked fish.
- Drizzle the honey (see pantry) over the cod.
- Sprinkle the crushed peanuts to finish.
