Great recipe for those who want to work more fish into their diet. Loving Moroccan flavors right now. We served over rice and skipped the garnish. Just remember to pull out the cinnamon stick before serving. -
i made this with tilapia. It was really nice, with a teeny hint of spice that wouldnt bother ppl who cant deal with spicy. i threw in a couple handfulls of pearl barley which was fine... I had to make it the night before, and was worried about overcooking b/c i had to re-heat in the oven do to cooking restrictions (religious - cooking on shabbat) but the fish managed to hold up and was nice! good recipe, not too difficult and lots of different tastes. -
Is this a Bill Granger recipe??? Added another couple of garlic cloves and used fresh mint and coriander. Delicious over spicy cous cous. An easy recipe, perfect for time-strapped cooks.

I live in the South of England, no kids but preparing for one day cooking for a whole brood hopefully!
I love Australia most of all for food - exotic food but also hearty homecooked aswell.
I enjoy salsa to burn off the excess calories and one day again i hope to be some good at it!
