one pot meals

After a long day, and driving home in the rain, I'm always in the mood for an easy and flavorful hot dish. This time, I sautéed together diced chorizo, ham (the Spaniards have rubbed off on me a bit here) and onions, added iron-rich swiss chard, habas (broad beans), chicken stock, and couscous. The result? A satisfying one pot meal that warms you from the inside, out.

tilapia with couscous

My dad brought home some tilapia and some scrod cod the other day, and I whipped up this couscous dish-- Mediterranian flavors of pinenuts, sundried tomatoes, Spanish smoked paprika and Catalán garlicky marinated green olives... all combined with sautéed green peppers, seared tilapia and scrod cod bites, parsley, some tasty stock (heated), and raw couscous. Let it stand for only 5 minutes and it's ready!
