Moroccan-Style Tilapia

I don’t know if they have tilapia in Morocco, but anyway, this was delicious! Preparation is simple, though it takes an hour. One strange thing: this says to use five pounds of fish to make six servings! I don’t know about you, but I’m not that hungry. I halved the recipe and used .95 pounds of tilapia, and it made a generous three servings.

Serve with couscous!

January 2-4

On the 2nd, we had leftovers from the first!

January 3rd, I made a dish I'm dubbing "Haphazard Fish Tacos." It went a little something like this:
Tortillas (flour, 'cause that's what we had)
Swiss chard
Breaded Tilapia fillets (bread crumbs from many-days-old French bread, plus chili powder and cumin)
Onions, carrots, cilantro, and pineapple sauteed in a little olive oil, lemon, and fresh orange juice

I served the tacos with wedges of sweet potato baked with paprika and cumin.

It was a pretty good meal, which indicates either that fish tacos are pretty hard to mess up or that I am a culinary genius.



January 4th the boys and I had pizza at my parents' house; Zach had a tuna salad sandwich.
