12 ounces couscous
1 lb eggplant
9 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 teaspoons ground cumin
1 lemon
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
seasoning
12 black olives, stoned and roughly chopped
6 tablespoons coriander, chopped
2 ounces pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

Soak the couscous in 9 fluid ounces cold water.
Pre-heat the oven to 200°C Cut the eggplant into 1/4" slices, cut these in 2 lengthways then cut all across in 1/4" slices (you should end up with short'chip'-shaped pieces).
Toss in 3 tablespoons of the oil, 2 teaspoons of the cumin and a little seasoning then roast in the oven for 15- 20 mintes, until softened.
Meanwhile, prepare the dressing: zest the lemon, adding the zest to the couscous then juice and add about 1 teaspoon of salt.
Allow to dissolve, then add the garlic plus the remaining cumin and olive oil.
Whisk thoroughly and add to the couscous- this will be partially absorbed.
When the eggplant is cooked, allow to cool a little then stir into the couscous, along with the olives, coriander and pine nuts.
Toss well and serve immediately.

I adapted this recipe from food reference.com. I start preparing this by slicing the carrots, onion and pepper in one bowl and the snapper and tomatoes in another. This is one of our favorites. I prepare the snapper mixture in my electric fry pan.

Provided by Chef Dave

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 Tbs olive oil
1 garlic clove chopped
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp ground coriander
1/8 tsp black pepper
3/4 tsp salt
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups couscous
1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped greek olives(from the olive bar)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Let sit for 5 minutes. 6. Fluff with a rubber scraper and sir in the cranberries, olives and feta. 7. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips:

Choose the freshest snapper you can find. Ask your fishmonger for recommendations on what's in season and what's been caught locally.
Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the snapper. This will cause the fish to steam instead of sear, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
Be careful not to overcook the snapper. It should be cooked through but still flaky and moist. The best way to check for doneness is to insert a paring knife into the thickest part of the fish. If it comes out clean, the fish is cooked.
Make sure the couscous is cooked al dente. This means that it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
Use fresh herbs and vegetables in the couscous salad. This will give the salad a bright, flavorful taste.

Conclusion:

Middle Eastern snapper with couscous salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The snapper is flaky and flavorful, and the couscous salad is light and refreshing. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
