This recipe is perfect for those who love bold flavors and a bit of heat in their meals.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, heat 1-2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion, chili peppers, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the peppers are softened.
- Stir in the tomato puree, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and lemon juice. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Nestle the white fish fillets into the sauce, making sure they are slightly covered by the sauce.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the fish cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious spicy fish with couscous!
Tips:
- For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the white fish in lemon juice and a bit of cumin for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you prefer a less spicy version, deseed the red hot chili peppers before chopping them.
- Use a fork to fluff the couscous after it has cooked to keep it light and airy.
- Consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro on top for a burst of freshness.
- If the dish is too spicy, serve it with a side of plain yogurt to help cool down the heat.
This Spicy Fish with Couscous recipe is a tantalizing dish that's sure to impress. It combines the heat from the chili peppers with the savory flavors of the cumin and tomato puree, balanced by the light and fluffy couscous.
