Ingredients
LEMONY BUTTERNUT COUSCOUS
- 400g butternut, peeled and diced 1.5 cm
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon runny honey
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup couscous
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ bag baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped
MOROCCAN FISH
- 1 tablespoon fish spice
- 2 tablespoons flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 450g fish fillets
CUCUMBER DIP
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 Lebanese cucumber, finely diced
Steps
-
oven to 200°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
-
Toss butternut with olive oil and honey on prepared tray and season with salt. Roast for 15-20 minutes, until soft and starting to caramelise.
-
Bring chicken stock to the boil in a medium pot (with lid on) on high heat. Turn off heat, add couscous, lemon zest and juice, stir well and cover. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and stir through butter, first measure of salt and spinach.
-
Mix fish spice, flour and second measure of salt together on a plate. Pat fish dry, remove any remaining scales or bones and cut any larger fillets in half. Toss fish pieces in flour/spice mixture until lightly coated.
-
In a small bowl, combine sour cream and cucumber. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
-
When butternut has about 5 minutes cook time remaining, heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook fish for 2-3 minutes each side, until just cooked through. Gently toss roasted butternut through couscous mixture until combined.
-
divide lemony butternut couscous between plates and top with Moroccan fish and a dollop of cucumber dip.
