Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the flour into a bowl and season. Dip each cod fillet into the flour until evenly coated. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the cod on each side for 2 mins, or until golden brown. Transfer to a roasting tin with the lemon slices on top and nestled in half the thyme. Bake for 10 mins.

  • step 2

    Heat the remaining oil in a pan and fry the leeks and mushrooms for 5 mins over a medium-high heat. Add the orzo and stock, and cook for 10 mins over a high heat, stirring continuously until tender. Stir through the crème fraîche and lemon zest. Season. Serve the orzo with the cod on top, along with the roasted lemon slices.

Nice, but the pasta was a little glutenous and maybe could have done with rinsing first, although it was kind of like a risotto, so I guess it would be a bit! I just think it could have done with a little more flavour, it was very mild but pleasant.

tip

I divided the recipe by 4 to make a portion for 1, but I’d say it required double the water in the recipe, as my orzo wasn’t cooked through with the amount in the recipe

Beautiful dish. I added some seasonings to the flour - salt, pepper, paprika and chilli flakes. I also added a little salt, pepper and chilli flakes to the orzo itself.

I forgot to say that if you are cooking for two the recipe halves well but don't reduce the quantity of stock. 500ml is only just enough.

Lovely recipe but five minutes prep is absurdly optimistic - it took me nearly three times that.
