Ingredients
- 1 10 ounce box plain couscous
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- Salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds 1-inch-thick fresh tuna fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
Preparation
Prepare the couscous according to package directions, using the butter.
Meanwhile, in a large, heavy skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the tuna cubes to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning with tongs, until no longer pink on the outside, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the reserved bell peppers and cook, tossing, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the parsley on top; season with salt and pepper.
Fluff and mound the couscous onto 4 plates. Spoon the tuna and peppers alongside. Serve with the lemon wedges.
