Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Boil a kettle
Peel and finely dice your red onion[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the diced onion and a pinch of salt
Cook for 5 min until softened but not coloured
Meanwhile, dissolve your vegetable stock mix in 750ml [975ml] [1.4L] boiled water
Add your arborio rice and half of the chopped garlic (save the rest for later!) to the pan, stirring to coat the grains in the oil
Add the vegetable stock a ladle at a time, stirring continuously for 25-30 min or until all of the stock is absorbed and the rice is cooked
Meanwhile, chop your cherry tomatoes in half
Add them to a tin foil-lined baking tray (or two!)
Pat your basa fillet[s] dry with kitchen paper and place them on the same tray[s]
Drizzle everything with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper
Season the halved cherry tomatoes with a pinch of sugar
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 12-15 min until the fish is cooked
Tip: Your fish is cooked when it turns opaque and flakes easily
Chop your capers and black olives together finely
Combine both with the remaining chopped garlic
Add 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] olive oil and give everything a good mix up – this is your tapenade
Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in a knob of butter, the roasted cherry tomatoes and half of the tapenade – this is your black olive risotto
Serve the baked basa over the black olive risotto with the remaining tapenade spooned over
Enjoy!
