Couscous Panga & Green Beans recipe and cooking demo (Music: No Agreement - Aphrodesia Couscous with Panga and Green Beans in Orange Juice is just one of my improvised bachelor meals prepared in a frying pan. Total preparation time is 30 minutes. However, after recording the preparation of this couscous meal, I sped up the movie to half the original duration while cutting out the 10 minute bit at the end where the frying pan just sits there for the couscous to get saturated with the broth. A clock is visible during the complete process for you to help your timing. Requisites: 1 frying/cooking pan 1 knife 1 spoon 1 fire 1 cutting board or something like it Ingredients (per person): 1 generous shot of cooking oil 1 hand full of green beans 1 small onion 1 clove of garlic 1/2 spoon of sambal 1/2 glass of orange juice 1 glass of water 1 panga fillet 1 small cup of couscous pepper and salt Preparation: Heat some oil in the frying pan on medium high fire while cutting the green beans. Stir the beans into the frying pan with some salt and half a spoon of sambal. Clean and cut the onion and garlic while making sure your beans don't burn. Add the onion and garlic with some pepper and salt to the beans and stir a bit. Add pepper and salt to the fillet of panga. Add the orange juice to the beans. Cut the fillet into little pieces. Add about a full glass of water to the beans. Stir and taste and if necessary, add some salt. Add the fish, give it a little stir and when it's cooking, change to a low fire. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, then move the beans and fish to one side of the frying pan and add the couscous and put the lid on. Wait a minute till it cooks, then turn off the fire. Wait 10 minutes for the broth to saturate the couscous. Supper's ready. Serve and enjoy! If all is well, the beans are still a teeny little bit crunchy, the fish almost melts on your tongue, the couscous is soft and tasty, a little bit of broth is left underneath the beans and if you didn't know, you'd never have guessed that it was cooked with orange juice. Panga is the common name for Pterogymnus laniarius, a small fish with white flesh found in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean. Couscous (pronounced /ˈkʊskʊs/ or /ˈkuːskuːs/) is a typical North African staple food made by rolling and shaping moistened semolina wheat or similar cereals. The finished granules are roughly spherical and about one millimetre in diameter. Traditional couscous requires considerable preparation time and is usually steamed. In this particular meal, a more processed, instant ready (about 10 minutes really) couscous is used. Couscous is traditionally served under a meat or vegetable stew. Sambal is a spicy Southeast Asian condiment made, in its simplest form, from chile peppers and salt. Music: No Agreement by Aphrodesia |
