Method
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a wide, shallow pan. Add the onion, celery, garlic, anchovy (if using) and chilli flakes. Season and cook for 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for another couple of minutes. Pour in the wine and stock and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes then add the couscous. Turn down to a simmer and add the fish. Cover with a lid and cook until the fish is done, about 5-7 minutes.
- Divide between 2 dishes, breaking the fish into large pieces. Sprinkle over lemon zest and parsley to finish.

lovely and versatile. i used quinoa instead of cous cous [as im allergic to gluten] and as i was cooking it for me and my 5year old son, no wine but i added frozen peas. also used frozen fish steaks, and once added the stock, then put in the fish steaks and the quinoa. then i added some chilli to mine at the end.
Very nice. I used the oil from the anchovy tin to saute the onion, celery and garlic. I dropped all of the anchovies into the mix. I didn't have couscous to hand so used quinoa which worked out fine (pre cooked it and added at the end). Pretty much doubled the recipe and used some seafood broth I had available. Added some prawns, scallops and squid. Chucked in a bit of sugar to even out the acidity. Used a can of crushed fire-roasted tomatoes. Forgot the lemon but oh well. Will make again.
my co-worker's ex-wife makes $86 every hour on the laptop. She has been fired from work for 10 months but last month her income was $19459 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Read more on this web site http://www.bit90.com
Very Nice! I used a full tin of chopped tomatoes (the brand I use is very thick so did not make it watery). I also used Quinoa which needed about an extra 5 minutes cooking but added much more flavour than cous cous would.
I would also crush the garlic next time as the slices were too harsh in my opinion (& I Love garlic!). I used 4 anchovies which I would say was perfect.
My husband is also a celery-phobic but he loved it and I wouldn't cook it without.
Yum!
Me and my Husband holiday in Sicily frequently and often eat this dish while we're there. I tried this recipe to try and replicate and what a massive success! Very authentic! We thought it was perfect but as we love anchovies thought we might pop another fillet in next time? Thank you for re-creating the memories.
