	Moroccan Broiled Fish Skewers or Fillets by John Spottiswood This is a tasty Moroccan dish that you are sure to love. Serve it over salad, cous cous, bulgar pilaf, or white or brown rice. We've used thick white fish but also thinner fish like catfish or tilapia when they are more reasonable. You can't skewer them, but you can broil the whole fillet (see picture).

	Curried Peanut and Tomato Soup by Gloria Bass I adore this soup - so easy to make, delicious and satisfying. I've also made it with chunks of sweet potato added for a stand-alone meal soup. The distinct flavors of fresh cilantro and curry powder, along with the unexpected addition of peanut butter, turn a simple tomato-based soup into something special. You can make it…	2 votes 5589 views

Commonly, and mistakenly, thought of as only a soup consumed to…	2 votes 1 review 3972 views
