Ingredients

  • 2 fillets rockling or another firm white fish
  • 1 tsp The Spice People’s Whole Saffron Threads
  • 1-2 tsp The Spice People’s Lemon Myrtle Leaves (to taste)
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup cous cous
  • 1 1/4 cups hot water
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • handful of fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 tbsp pistachios

Directions

  1. Place the fillets of whiting into a large saucepan big enough to hold them. Almost cover them in cold water before adding the saffron, lemon myrtle, and lemon rounds, along with a healthy pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until almost done. Turn the heat off and allow to cool slightly in the stock before moving.
  2. Meanwhile place the cous cous into a bowl along with a pinch of salt before pouring over the hot water and covering with a tea towel. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  3. Once the cous cous is done mix through the chopped onion, roughly cut tomatoes and tear some mint through. Check and adjust seasoning if needed.

    Serve the fish on the cous cous topped with the pistachios.
