• 300 g white basmati rice
• 6 heaped teaspoons green olive tapenade
• 350 g mixed-colour cherry tomatoes
• ½ bunch fresh basil
• 500 g white fish fillets

Method

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Cut the fish into four equal-sized pieces and place in the pan, pushing them into the rice.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   Spoon the remaining tapenade over the fish, pick over the remaining basil leaves, drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil, and dish up.
