Mahi with Chirzo Couscous
Serves: 4
Ingredients
1kg fish fillets, I used mahi-mahi. Any white firm fish will work well in this recipe
1/3 cup flour
Salt and pepper to taste
2 chorizo sausages, sliced and diced
1 onion, diced
1 green capsicum, diced
½ tin corn kernels
½ tin black beans rinsed and drained
2 cups couscous
Method
-
Place the couscous in a bowl and cover with 2 cups of boiling water. Cover and stand for 15 minutes.
-
In a large frying pan cook the chorizo until slightly charred. Remove the chorizo from the pan and set aside. Drain the oil into a small bowl leaving about 1 tsp in the pan. Place the onion and capsicum in the pan and sauté for 5-8 minutes. Add the chorizo back into the pan along with the corn and beans.
-
Heat through. Cut fish fillets into palm size portions. 2 portions per person
-
Place a large frying pan on medium/high heat with 5g of butter and 1 tsp olive oil.
-
Put the flour in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pat the fish dry and roll in the flour shaking off excess.
-
Pan fry the fish for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The fish is cooked when it flakes easily when tested.
-
Combine the chorizo mixture with the couscous, season to taste with salt and pepper and add a little of the chorizo oil if desired for extra flavor.
-
Serve the pan-fried fish on a bed of chorizo couscous with lemon wedges.
-
ENJOY!
