Substantial and fragrant with the irrexixtible smell of aromatic spices, this homey one-pot meal can be a main course for four people.

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Sauce: In a food processor, combine garlic with ½ teaspoon salt, paprika, cumin and cayenne and process until it forms a paste. Add herbs and pulse a few times to blend. Add lemon juice, vinegar and olive oil and blend.

Season with salt.
