Cod Fish Couscous

Soak the cod for 24h, changing the water every 6h (or buy it already desalted). Boil a pan of water, turn off the heat and add the cod. After 5-10 minutes, it should be cooked, the flesh should fall easily off the skin and bones. Flake the flesh and set aside, discarding the rest. Strain the cooking liquid and reserve. Seed and dice the peppers. Sauté them in olive oil in batches in a very hot pan for 1min at a time, seasoning with salt and pepper. Leave to cool over a strainer, so they are not soaked in their own juices. Boil 1 cup (250ml) of the cod’s cooking liquid and pour it over the couscous, in a bowl. Cover with cling film and leave for 5 minutes, until all the liquid is absorbed. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil and fluff the couscous with a fork. Add the cod flakes, bell peppers, olives, chopped parsley and adjust the seasoning, especially adding more black pepper. Serve on a platter, hot or cold.
