Baked Haddock with Herb Couscous Recipe by Lorena Grater

Baked Haddock Herb Couscous

We wanted to create a recipe that takes only 20 minutes to prepare but still manages to be filling and highly nutritious. Healthy fast food so to speak and that’s how came up with the recipe for this baked haddock and herb couscous. Couscous cooks extra fast as well and doesn’t even require a pot. Just a bowl that can be covered with a plate.

Instructions:

The instructions for cooking couscous tend to say to put couscous and liquid in a pot.

Bring to the boil, cover, then remove from heat and set aside for about 10 minutes.

Never involve the stove for couscous and it turns out every time. So, what to do is boil water in the kettle, pour my couscous in a small bowl which can cover with a small plate, crumble a vegetable stock cube with my fingers and mix it into the granules with hands, pour the boiling water over the couscous, shake back and forth once or twice to make sure the couscous is even, immediately cover the bowl with a plate and let stand until finished chopping herbs/veggies for it.

Add some oil and fluff with a fork, add whatever herbs/veggies prepared while waiting for the couscous to cook. Ready! 

In a hurry? Dinner needs to be ready in the blink of an eye? Just turn on the oven, bring water to the boil in your kettle and be ready to chop herbs and vegetables in ninja speed because your fish and couscous will be cooked so fast you won’t have time to fool about
