From the Test Kitchen

This Mediterranean-style dish features oregano-seasoned tilapia served over a hearty, colorful medley of spinach, chickpeas, and onion quickly simmered in a rustic tomato sauce. We’re topping it all with a punchy duo of garlic and niçoise olives—cooked briefly in the pan to enhance their rich, aromatic flavors.
