This is a traditional and popular Persian dish with very strong roots in Iran. It’s vibrant, fresh, and full of flavors. Its literal translation is “herb stew,” as it’s made with lots of fresh herbs. The two standout ingredients you might not have heard of or used before are fenugreek and limoo amami (black limes). Those two ingredients are key to making the flavor profile. Fenugreek really gives it a special flavor, as it almost has a maple syrup flavor to it. So, if you’re not able to purchase it online or in a store, you can substitute a tablespoon…

Tilapia is a star no matter how you prepare it. Equally happy to stand on its own as an entrée, the addition of the Peach Salsa brings a slight tanginess that complements the mild, sweet flavor of tilapia. Tilapia is a member of the catfish family, and you can certainly substitute catfish in this recipe.

Berbere is a spice blend used in North African cooking, particularly in Ethiopia, and this well-balanced combination of sweet and savory flavors complements grilled meats and stews. Here, it’s used in combination with peaches, which come to life with the warmth of the nutmeg, ginger, and cloves in the berbere. Feel free to double or quadruple the spice blend and save the rest for another roasted meat.
