What you need: 🔪

• 1 ½ lbs tilapia - (I used 6, 4oz fillets)

• 1 tsp coriander

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional parsley or cilantro for garnish

How to cook it: 👩🏻‍🍳

• Heat oil in a large, non-stick skillet on medium-high heat. Add in the garlic, and cook until slightly tender and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

• Stir Tomato paste, chicken broth, cumin, onion powder, paprika, coriander, and salt and pepper. 

• Bring to a simmer and then reduce heat to medium, stirring occasionally. 

• Add in garbanzo beans and let cook for about 45 minutes, adding more broth as necessary if the sauce becomes too thick.

• Taste and add additional spices and seasonings if necessary.

Meanwhile… 

• Season both sides of the fish fillets with additional salt, pepper, and paprika.

• Place fish into the pan with the tomato sauce, and gently cover each fillet with some of the sauce.

• Cover pan, and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

• Garnish with optional parsley or cilantro and serve.
