An excellent recipe and I think I made it even better. I replaced the paprika with ground sumac. Sumac is a Moroccan spice and it really works for this recipe. I doubled everything except the amount of fish and it was the perfect amount for 9 adults. I also added capers and doubled up again on the olives. This has to be served with couscous. I enhanced the couscous a little by adding pine nuts. Great meal.

Omigoodness, I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious flavors this dish has! I didn't have carrots or olives, but we could live without those ingredients. I used a can of whole tomatoes instead. I love my food well seasoned so I added a few extra spices directly to the fish(adobo/season salt). This was superb and has now become a favorite in my recipe arsenal! Thank you for submitting this!

I changed it quite a bit, used a lot less fish, used extra fire roasted tomato, and used 2 fire roasted hatch peppers. I think I would have like the original, but I made it more toward my husbands taste.

Good! The fish cooked perfectly using this method and the whole dish had a nice flavor, though I did choose to go a little lighter on the spices. I used fat free chicken broth in place of the water and bouillion. My only complaint was that the olives just didn't seem to work with all the other flavors. Still a very good dish though. Thanks for sharing! :)

YUM! This was well worth the time to make. The only change I made was to cut back a bit on the cyanne (sp?) pepper. I figured I could add more in the end if it needed it. I served this over Saffron rice (cheap pack for grocery store) & it was a big hit. It was like a fish stew. mmm mmm mmm We had a little left over & I had to stop myself from raiding the 'fridge @ about 2 this morning & finishing it off. Great recipe, will make again!

Delicious!! The only thing my family didnt like is that I didnt make more!! Followed the recipe pretty close with the exception of excluding garbanzo beans, adding shrimp, and substituting cilantro for parsley. Thanks for a wonderful recipe

This is my favorite recipe I have found on this site so far. We didn't have chickpeas (and I really don't like them) so I used black beans instead. Also used less fish just enough to cover the top. It was fantastic and even better then next day!

Loved this! I cut the fish and spices in 1/2 (5 lbs of tilapia seemed like way too much) and used the amount of veggies the recipe called for. My husband and I loved this!

A simple and flavorful dish! I added some pitted black moroccan olives, broccoli stems, and ras el hanout to taste. The tilapi is wonderful and not too fishy. I even had it for lunch the next day and it tasted just as good, which doesn't happen often with fish leftovers.

This was delicious! Easy to make, and also easy to halve the recipe to accommodate less fish. Subbed in chicken broth for bullion, and added raisins. I will definitely make again and again!
