Ingredients

1/2 cup raisins, seedless
4 tablespoons olive oil, extra-virgin divided
2 tablespoons butter
8 each saffron threads
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ginger ground
1 teaspoon turmeric ground
1/2 teaspoon allspice ground
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg ground
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
3 large onions very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
2 1/3 cups chicken broth, low salt divided
2 1/2 pounds halibut skinned and cut into 2-inch wide pieces
1 x black pepper freshly ground to taste
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup almonds sliced or slivered
1 cup couscous whole wheat

Directions

Place raisins in a small bowl and cover with warm water; let soak for 10 minutes.

Drain.

Crush saffron and salt together in a mortar and pestle until a coarse powder forms.

(Alternatively, place saffron and salt on a cutting board and use the flat side of a chef’s knife to grind into a coarse powder.)

Combine with ginger, turmeric, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper in a small bowl.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add the spice mixture and cook, stirring, until the mixture starts to foam.

Add onions, sugar and the plumped raisins.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn light brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Add 1 cup broth and nestle fish into the onion mixture.

Cover and cook until the fish is flaky, 8 to 10 minutes.

Remove from the heat and season with pepper.

Cover and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat canola oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat.

Add almonds and cook, stirring, until just beginning to turn golden, about 1 minute.

Drain on paper towels.

Bring the remaining 1 1/3 cups broth and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to a boil in a small saucepan.

Add couscous in a stream.

Stir once.

Cover, remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes.

Fluff with a fork.

To serve, mound the couscous on a shallow platter.

Top with the fish and onion t’faya and sprinkle the almonds on top.

10 Minute Szechuan Chicken

Really quick and very good. We added green pepper and broccoli and served over brown rice. This is one of my favorites!
