3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound mahi-mahi fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup purchased pico de gallo, drained
Special equipment: Metal skewers

Directions

1. Preheat broiler.
2. Bring 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Stir in couscous and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand until water is absorbed and couscous is tender, about 10 minutes.

Ingredients

1/4 pound red currants, about 1 scant cup
1/2 pound raspberries, about 2 cups
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar

Directions

1. In a blender, purée the currants with the raspberries. Press them through a stainless steel or nylon sieve (wire discolors the fruit) into a medium bowl, and add the lemon juice.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring one-half cup of water and the sugar to a boil. Boil until the mixture is a light syrup consistency, 4 minutes (for a more dense sorbet, boil until the syrup is thick, 7 minutes). Cool for a few minutes.
3. Stir the currant and raspberry mixture into the sugar syrup. Place the granita in a large glass baking dish, cover loosely with foil and allow to freeze, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
4. Ten minutes before serving, transfer the granita to the refrigerator to soften. Serve.

Makes 1 pint.
