SICILIAN-INSPIRED TUNA WITH SPICY COUSCOUS
Steps:
- Over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil in a 12-inch skillet with sides at least 2 inches high. Heat until oil is hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. Salt and pepper tuna fillets, and sear in the oil, 3 minutes per side. The fish will still be red in the center. Set fillets aside, loosely tented with tin foil, and from residual heat they will cook until the centers are pink. Turn heat to medium, add remaining oil, garlic, and chili, and tomatoes, and saute 2 minutes to let flavors mix. Next add scallions, olives, and lemon zest, and toss briefly. Pour reserved tomato juice and water into pan to deglaze, stirring and scraping up bits with a wooden or nylon spatula. Add the Israeli couscous, stir to mix, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. After this time, the couscous will be slightly al dente, and all but approximately 1/2 cup of the liquid will be absorbed. To serve, stir the remaining liquid into the couscous, divide it between two plates, top each with a tuna fillet. Garnish with mint or parsley, feta, and pine nuts if desired.
