Moroccan Cumin Fish

Hi. It’s Lois in the kitchen at Recipe Idea Shop, talking about Moroccan Cumin Fish, one of my all-time go-to fish recipes. It bursts with the flavor or cumin and garlic, and the fish is flaky and juicy. I found this recipe  in Moosewood Restaurant New Classics and it was so good, I had to make it again tonight! I really love Moosewood cookbooks. You’re gonna love this recipe.

What You Need

This recipe is so easy you don’t need any special tools. A lemon grated, garlic mincer, some knives, a baking dish and some measuring spoons is all you need. But what you want is a fancy schmanzy coffee machine, right?

The Back Story

Awhile ago, Don and I held a luncheon at our house for a group of senior managers from landmine action centers from Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Laos, Lebanon, Tajikistan and other countries affected by unexploded ordnance. They were in Harrisonburg for a five-week management training conducted by James Madison University’s Center for International Stabilization and Recovery (where I used to work).

International guests: Kosim (Azerbaijan), Rafak (Iraq) and Samim (Afghanistan).

What Is Halal?

It was a fun day, and hosting them for lunch gave me an opportunity to try several new recipes, which I always love to do. Rafak from Iraq had mentioned that he would like to have some fish; he only eats halal, but he says, “All fish is halal!”

Luckily, I did know a bit about halal, which is a term Muslims use to describe how animals are prepared for slaughter. All meat (poultry, lamb, beef) must be blessed by the imam (minister) before it is killed so that it it acceptable to eat. Muslims, of course, do not eat pork. So if you are making a meal that someone of the Muslim faith might eat, please consider making a vegetarian or fish recipe. Unless, of course, you have a grocery store that sells halal meat. We have a couple such stores in Harrisonburg, Virginia, because we have a large Muslim population in the area.
