Method

  1. Put the leek in a large microwave dish with 4 tbsp of the stock. Cover the dish with cling film, pierce the film with a knife, then microwave on High for 5 mins.
  2. Uncover the dish, then stir the rice and remaining stock into the leek. Re-cover with cling film, pierce and microwave on High for another 10 mins, stirring halfway through until the rice is very nearly cooked.
  3. Gently stir in the fish chunks, cover the dish with cling film again, then pierce and cook for a further 5 mins until the fish flakes easily and the rice is tender. Stir in the parsley, lemon zest and juice. Leave to stand for 2 mins before serving.

Make it on the hob

To make on the hob, fry the leek in oil; add the rice and stock. Simmer, covered, for 10 mins or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Add fish, leave off heat for 5 mins, covered, until the rice is fluffy and fish cooked.

    Be careful with the lemon, it was all you could taste in mine, consequently it went in the bin and we had a take away!!

    Such a quick and easy recipe for my 2 boys to help with after school but halved the amount of lemon as too overpowering.
