Chicken Tikka Masala
Spicy ‘Indian’ dish who’s origin is disputed. Voted the UK’s most popular dish. This version is from America’s Test Kitchen. Chicken is cubed after it is cooked to keep it moist.

Pearl (Israeli) Couscous With Garam Masala and Pine Nuts
Pearl (Israeli) couscous is more like barley in texture, and takes a little longer to cook. Look for it in the ethnic section, or in the pasta section of larger supermarkets. Try to find the “instant” kind, that cooks it 10 minutes. If you can’t find it, you may have to add more liquid and cook longer. This one has a touch of East Indian spices. Good with grilled salmon or pork tenderloin. There are as many variations of Garam Masala (spice mix) as there are cooks :). I like mine with a tad more cinnamon than some. There are several recipes here on ‘Zaar, or you can buy it in specialty shops or larger supermarkets.
Tilapia Al Ajillo (Garlic Tilapia)
You can do this with any white fish, sea bass is great this way. Fish is often served this way in the Canary Islands, though usually it is the whole fish instead of fillets. YUM!
Quick Swedish Meatballs
This recipe comes from a bag of frozen meatballs, and it is very easy, quick and yummy. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of doubling the sauce and adding a few more meatballs than called for, and I served over noodles. This is a terrific weeknight meal that will be enjoyed by adults and kids alike.
