Empty the Pantry Stew

NY Times - Fish Couscous
Incredible! 5.0/5

Text stolen from NY Times: This spicy fish stew served over couscous is easy to make — don’t let the long list of ingredients deter you — and great for a dinner party. You can use a sturdy white-fleshed fish like monkfish or grouper, or a flakier fish like snapper or tilapia.
