Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Add the rice and 350ml [700ml] cold water with a pinch of salt to a pot with a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low, cover and cook for 10-15 min or until the water has absorbed then set aside
Meanwhile, top and tail the courgette[s] then slice in half lengthways
Chop the courgette halves into bite-size pieces
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat with 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] vegetable oil
Once hot, add the courgette with a pinch of salt and cook for 3-4 min or until starting to soften and brown slightly
Meanwhile, slice the cherry tomatoes in half
Add the tomatoes and the oregano to the courgette and cook for a further 2-3 min
Meanwhile, finely chop the basil leaves and stalks, keeping the leaves and stalks separate
Add the basil stalks to the pan (save the chopped leaves for the next step)
Grind the fennel seeds finely in a pestle and mortar
Combine the fennel seeds, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, basil leaves and a pinch of salt and pepper - this is your dressing
Cut the mozzarella into small, bite-size pieces then add it to the dressing
Toss gently to coat each piece of mozzarella
Chop the rocket roughly
Once the rice is cooked, stir the chopped rocket through
Serve the vegetables over the rice with the marinated mozzarella over the top
Drizzle any remaining dressing over
Enjoy!
