Cooking Steps
1
- Prepare the stock.
- Deseed and finely chop the red chili pepper*.
- Heat half of the olive oil in a pot or saucepan over medium-high heat. Fry the chili pepper with the giant couscous for 1 minute.
- Pour in the stock, then bring to a boil and cook gently for 12 - 14 minutes, covered, then set aside.
*Take care, this ingredient is spicy! Use as preferred.

- Slice the onion into half rings.
- Heat the rest of the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the onion for 2 - 3 minutes.
- Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper. Add the fish to the onion and fry for 1 - 2 minutes per side. Add the za'atar during the final minute of cooking.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, then turn off the heat and set aside until serving, covered.
