Ingredients
  

  • 300 grams basmati rice
  • 6 tbsp green olive tapenade heaped
  • 350 grams mixed-colour cherry tomatoes
  • ½ bunch fresh basil
  • 500 grams white fish fillets such as haddock, skin off, pin-boned, from sustainable sources

Instructions
 

  • In a large shallow casserole pan on a high heat, mix the rice with 2 heaped teaspoons of tapenade, then pour over 600ml of water.
  • Put the lid on and let it come to the boil while you halve the tomatoes and, in a bowl, mix them with 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and red wine vinegar.
  • Taste, season to perfection 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, then remove the lid and cook for a further 2 minutes until all the liquid has evaporated.
  • Spoon the remaining tapenade over the fish, pick over the remaining basil leaves, drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil, and dish up.
