This was delicious! My wife and daughter loved this, and it reminded us of the Thai classic, fried fish with homemade tomato and chili sauce. I made it with tilapia, which is very north African, and the earthy freshwater taste came through the spicy stew well. I also used a small cinnamon stick instead of the powder. I would recommend this for all stews and curries which use cinnamon, because you can take it out when you feel that the stew has enough cinnamon flavour. Instead of putting pasta in the stew, I served it spooned over couscous with mint, almonds and red onion. A real keeper!

So easy, so tasty, so healthy. I sometimes add shrimp, calamari, and/or clams.

As most of us do I changed this recipe a little bit...Oh I know, daring! I used two packets of fresh 'seafood herbs' from Wholefoods instead of the Parsley and Cilantro. I used chicken stock instead of water and floured the diced fish. I really cooked the sauce down for about an 1hr or so. This made the flavour nice and rich. My husband was impressed and I was too! It really is a lovely winter warmer without using cream and heavy ingredients. A Snuggie for your belly.

With tweaking this is a five star stew. My husband says it's his new favorite. I used 1 lb white fish and 1/2 lb scallops, which was very tasty. Also added sugar and cayenne to round out the flavors. Substitute broth for water and/or use boullion for flavor. Also added celery with leaves for more texture. Next time might add kale. Recommend cooking the pasta or other starch seperately, since it absorbs the liquid when refrigerated and gets mushy.

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this! This stew was fairly easy to make and super delicious. I was a little nervous with the inclusion of cinnamon and paprika in the recipe but it added a yummy richness to the stew. The only changes I made were using 1c. of clam stock in place of one of the cups of water that was called for (just because I had it in my pantry) and I did only add 1tbsp of pepper at the end instead of 2 tbsp. as I was serving it to my family and I knew the kids wouldn't touch it if it was too spicy. The pasta I chose was 3oz. of orzo and this was a great complement to the dish as well. Thanks so much for the recipe. I think it would be great served as a course for a holiday dinner or to serve for company on a chilly evening. I also loved that this stew is hearty yet pretty healthy as well.

Made it almost exactly except used fresh diced tomatoes. Very easy to make and healthy, but the flavor was missing something.

Loved this recipe! Easy to make. My husband wasn't too sure about the cinnamon, but we really liked it. NO leftovers, so that's always a good sign. Paired really well with Potato rolls!!
