Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Soak the sun-dried tomatoes
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil for the couscous.
- Roughly chop the sun-dried tomatoes.
In a small heatproof bowl, soak the tomatoes in ½ cup very hot tap water until softened, 10 to 15 minutes.
While the tomatoes are soaking, cook the couscous.
2
Cook the couscous
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the couscous and toast, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the couscous to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
To the pot of boiling water, add the toasted couscous and cook until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain the couscous, then return to the pot and toss with 2 to 3 teaspoons oil. Cover and keep warm.
While the couscous is cooking, prepare your protein.

Prep and cook your protein
In the same pan used to toast the couscous, warm 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Fish:
- Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add the fish to the pan and cook until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Chicken:
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken to the pan and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until firm and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes. Cut the chicken into ½-inch thick slices.
While your protein is cooking, finish the couscous.
