Method

Drunken Couscous Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Couscous

    In a medium saucepan, bring the white wine and vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Vegetable Medley Preparation

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Spanish Chimichurri Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Chimichurri Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and salt. Mix well and let sit for at least 10 minutes to develop flavors.

Wild Caught Gulf Snapper Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Snapper

    Season the snapper fillets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the snapper for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.

    Serve

    On a plate, layer the drunken couscous, topped with the sautéed vegetable medley. Place the snapper on top and garnish with caper berries and a drizzle of chimichurri sauce.
