Cod with Green Beans, Leek and Pesto over Basil Pearled Couscous



Ingredients:
2 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 pieces cod fillet
1/2 pound green beans cut into 1 - 2 inch pieces
1 leek (white and green parts) thinly sliced
1 small shallot thinly diced
Homemade pesto (see Vegan Pesto Recipe here)
Salt and Pepper
Near East Brand Basil & Herb Pearled Couscous

Method:

Step one: Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step two: Season the cod with salt and pepper and cook until the underside is golden, 3 to 5 minutes, remove from pan.

Step three: Saute green beans, leek and shallot for 15 minutes over medium heat.

Step four: Return cod to pan add additional tablespoon of oil and cover for 5 minutes. (The cod will most likely fall apart, while not as aesthetically pleasing the taste remains the same).

Prepare pesto (see recipe link above) and couscous according to Near East box instructions. 

Serve cod and vegetables over couscous and top with a dollop of pesto.


Enjoy!
