Method

step 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.
step 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.
step 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.

RECIPE TIPS

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.
