• ½ cup canned diced tomatoes
• ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk

• Place the filets on a cookie sheet, lined with parchment paper, and place the filets on top.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 375 F for 15 minutes (uncovered).
• Place the filets under a broiler on high until potatoes are brown and crusty.
• In the meantime, wilt the spinach and season with fresh pepper.
• Crumble the goat cheese and fold into the spinach. Repeat the same with the shaved almonds. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Boil the rice pilaf per package instructions (about 25 minutes).
• Bring the Jalfrezi sauce to a boil prior to serving and keep at low simmer.
Plate the filets and top with warm Jalfrezi sauce. Serve rice pilaf and warm spinach salad on the side.
Bon appétit!
