Tuna is a favorite to cook all across the Mediterranean area. This pairing of Sicilian flavors with couscous is a reminder that Sicily is closer to North Africa than it is to most parts of Europe.

Ingredients:

1 regular-size foil oven bag

cooking spray

1/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2 tablespoons chopped pitted green olives

1 tablespoon raisins

1 tablespoon capers

2 tablespoons dry white wine

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

2 teaspoons olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1 (14 1/2-ounce) can italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained

1/2 cup uncooked couscous

2 (5-ounce) tuna steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)

1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Coat inside of oven bag with cooking spray. Place the bag on a large shallow baking pan.
3. Combine broth and next 11 ingredients (broth through tomatoes) in a large bowl, and stir in couscous. Place couscous mixture in prepared oven bag. Place tuna on couscous mixture. Fold edge of bag over to seal. Bake at 450° for 20 minutes or until fish is medium-rare or desired degree of doneness. Cut open the bag with a sharp knife, and peel back foil. Sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts and 1 tablespoon parsley.
