SAUTEED TILAPIA WITH ALMONDS AND CHERRIES
Another WW recipe. 4 Points Plus per serving. I used fresh peaches instead of cherries on my first try since that's what I had on hand. You can probably use nearly any fleshy fresh and ripe fruit. I served this with couscous cooked in apple juice and water, and broccoli.

Steps:
- After spending some time in the south of France, I really came to love certain fruits and nuts mixed together in desserts. Maybe it's because almonds and cherries are actually both fruits, that I feel they belong together. Or maybe, quite simply, it's the flavor combination of these 2 ingredients that makes them perfect (and simple finish) for any meal. It can be paired with a sorbet or ice cream, depending on your mood.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and the almonds. Stir to coat the nuts with the butter. Add the ground cinnamon and toss to coat. Toast until fragrant. Transfer the almonds to a bowl and set aside.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and allow it to get hot again, about 1 minute. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and toss in the cherries. Stir in the sugar and cinnamon sticks. Cook for 1 minute, stirring so the sugar dissolves, then remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully add the Grappa and gingerly return the skillet to the heat. Step back a little as the alcohol may cause the pan to flame slightly. Stir and continue cooking until the liquid becomes somewhat syrupy, an additional 1 to 2 minutes Remove the cinnamon sticks.
- Arrange the cherries in 4 to 6 bowls, top with almonds, a splash of Grappa and a generous scoop of lemon sorbet. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality seafood.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Use a little oil or butter: A little oil or butter will help to prevent the food from sticking to the pan and will also help to brown it.
- Cook the food over medium-high heat: Medium-high heat is ideal for sautéing. This will help to quickly cook the food without overcooking it.
- Season the food to taste: Once the food is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
- Garnish the dish before serving: A simple garnish can make a big difference in the presentation of your dish. Try using fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or roasted nuts.
