We drove to Costco at noon. We were hungry, so we each ate Polish Dogs and then shopped. Suzette bought cleaning supplies and we visited the Seafood Fiesta booth. They had fresh halibut again for $11.99/lb. since the last piece we bought was the second or third best halibut ever, we bought a 1 ½ lb. piece today.
When we arrived home Willy called and said he would join us for dinner. Suzette cut slits into the fish in which she stuffed slices of lemon and butter. Suzette also wanted to use the six PPI Grilled Eggplant slices to make a new recipe. She sliced long strips of Brie cheese and rolled the slice of Eggplant around it and then wrapped the eggplant roll with a large leaf of chard and then ran two toothpicks through the roll to hold it together.
When Suzette put the eggplant rolls and halibut on the grill to cook she suggested that I make couscous because it is relatively quick. I sautéed 3 T. of butter, ½ tsp. of herb flavored salt, and 2 T. of finely diced yellow onion in a sauce pan for about five minutes. Then I added 1 cup of couscous and 1 ½ cups water and heated the mixture to a boil and then covered the sauce pan and turned the heat to low and let it cook for four minutes. Then I tossed the couscous with a fork, turned of the heat and let the Couscous stand covered until we were ready to eat.
We ate in the garden and drank the PPI Alsatian Riesling.
It was the third or fourth best halibut I have ever had because it was so incredibly fresh. The couscous was delicious. Cooking it with sautéed onion and tomato is an excellent way to cook couscous.
Bon Appetit
