Poshalicious Recipes: One Pan Fabulous Fish

I am a big fan of Jamie Oliver. I admire that he is a chef with social conscience, demonstrating this through his actions over the years. This week’s recipe is taken from his book ‘5 Ingredients- Quick and Easy Food’. This recipe serves 4 and takes only 15 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups white basmati rice
• 6 heaping teaspoons green olive tapenade
• 12 oz. ripe mixed-color cherry tomatoes
• ½ bunch of fresh basil (½ oz.)
• 1 lb white fish fillets, such as Haddock, skin off, pin-boned (I use Tilapia or Basa fish).

Directions

• In a large shallow casserole pan on a high heat, mix the rice with 2 heaping teaspoons of tapenade. Pour over 2 ½ cups of water.
• Put the lid on and let it come to a boil.
• While waiting to boil half the tomatoes and in a bowl mix them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and red wine vinegar.
• Taste, season to your preference with sea salt and black pepper and tear in most of the basil leaves.
• Cut the fish into four equal-sized pieces and place in the pan, pushing them into the rice.
• Scatter over the dressed tomatoes.
• Put the lid back on and boil for 10 minutes or until the rice is cooked through.
• Remove the lid and cook for a further 2 minutes until all the liquid is evaporated.
• Spoon the remaining tapenade and basil

leaves over the fish.

• Drizzle with the olive oil and serve.

I hope you enjoy as much as I do!
