Provided by ID2448

Categories     Vegan

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces couscous
1 lb eggplant
9 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 teaspoons ground cumin
1 lemon
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
seasoning
12 black olives, stoned and roughly chopped
6 tablespoons coriander, chopped
2 ounces pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Soak the couscous in 9 fluid ounces cold water.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 200°C Cut the eggplant into 1/4" slices, cut these in 2 lengthways then cut all across in 1/4" slices (you should end up with short'chip'-shaped pieces).
  • Toss in 3 tablespoons of the oil, 2 teaspoons of the cumin and a little seasoning then roast in the oven for 15- 20 mintes, until softened.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the dressing: zest the lemon, adding the zest to the couscous then juice and add about 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • Allow to dissolve, then add the garlic plus the remaining cumin and olive oil.
  • Whisk thoroughly and add to the couscous- this will be partially absorbed.
  • When the eggplant is cooked, allow to cool a little then stir into the couscous, along with the olives, coriander and pine nuts.
  • Toss well and serve immediately.

MIDDLE EASTERN SNAPPER WITH COUSCOUS SALAD



Middle Eastern Snapper with Couscous Salad image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup couscous
2 lemons
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
2 plum tomatoes, diced
1/2 small shallot, minced
1 cup packed fresh parsley, chopped, plus more for topping
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 teaspoons za'atar seasoning
4 red snapper fillets (about 1 1/2 pounds)

Steps:

  • Place the couscous in a large heatproof bowl. Bring 1 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan; pour over the couscous, cover and let stand until the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grate the zest of 1 lemon, juice 1 1/2 lemons and cut the remaining 1/2 lemon into 4 wedges. Fluff the couscous and add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, bell pepper, cucumber, tomatoes, shallot and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate while the fish cooks.
  • Mix the za'atar, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub onto the flesh side of the fish. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 2 fish fillets skin-side down, pressing gently to prevent them from curling. Cook until the edges turn opaque, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the fish and cook until just opaque throughout, about 2 minutes; remove to plates. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and repeat with the remaining 2 fish fillets.
  • Top the fish with parsley and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with the couscous salad and lemon wedges.
