Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Inspired by the Andalusian recipes of southern Spain, this casserole contains the sweet and spicy flavors of tomatoes, bell peppers and pepper-derived ingredients such as chili sauce.
  • tip 2
    Chili sauce is located near ketchup and other condiments in the grocery store. Do not confuse it with chili paste, a hot, spicy ingredient used in Asian cooking.
  • tip 3
    Farm-raised catfish is especially tasty in this recipe. Flounder or trout can also be used.
