IRAQI FISH WITH POMEGRANATE AND LOOMI (SAMAK TIBSI)
"It's called samak tibsi in Iraq, samak meaning fish and a tibs being the kind of pot it is usually baked in. Despite the long oven time, the fish remains moist thanks to the syrup and the insulation of the vegetables." This is wonderful served over Recipe#443553 along with a fresh salad masha Allah. Both dried limes and pomegranate molasses can be found in Middle Eastern shops. Modified from a recipe found on http://desertcandy.blogspot.com.

- Cut several slits in the dried limes and nestle them amongst the fish.
- Scatter the minced garlic over top.
