Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1 onion
110g
1 red pepper
80g
1 cup chicken gravy
200g
1/2 cup peas
60g
1 cup couscous
230g
1/2 cup fresh parsley
30g
1 tsp spice mix
5g
1.50 lb white fish
680g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Chop the onion and red pepper.
- Chop the fresh parsley.
- Pat the white fish dry with paper towels and cut into serving-size pieces if necessary.
2. Cook the Aromatics:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and red pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.
3. Add the Liquid and Peas:
- Pour the chicken gravy into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables.
- Stir in the peas and bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Prepare the Couscous:
- While the vegetables and gravy are simmering, prepare the couscous.
- In a medium-sized pot, bring one cup of water to a boil.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add the couscous. Cover the pot and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the couscous has absorbed the water.
- Fluff the couscous with a fork.
5. Season the Fish:
- Rub the spice mix evenly over the pieces of white fish.
6. Cook the Fish:
- Gently place the seasoned fish pieces into the skillet with the simmering gravy and vegetables.
- Cover the skillet and let the fish cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Combine and Serve:
- Stir the chopped fresh parsley into the couscous.
- To serve, place a portion of couscous on each plate and top with the Spanish spiced fish and vegetable gravy.
8. Garnish and Enjoy:
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Spanish Spiced Fish with Couscous!

Tips:

- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.

- Make sure to fluff the couscous with a fork after it cooks to keep it light and fluffy.

- Add a squeeze of lemon juice over the fish before serving for an extra burst of flavor.

- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the spice mix.

- Use fresh parsley for a more vibrant and aromatic result.
