Ingredients:

1/4 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 carrots, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 pound catfish, diced
1 cup black eyed peas
1 zucchini, sliced
1 cup rice

Directions:

lace slivered almonds on a baking sheet and toast in a 350 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown; set aside. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet, add chopped onion, and cook over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add crushed garlic cloves, diagonally cut carrots, sliced red bell pepper, coriander, cayenne pepper, chicken broth, and water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat, add diced catfish, black eyed peas, and sliced zucchini; simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the catfish flakes easily. Meanwhile, prepare rice according to the package instructions. Serve the catfish mixture over the rice and sprinkle with the toasted almonds.
