Cooking steps

Cook the Rice
1
  • Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
  • Rinse the rice to remove excess starch.
  • Pour 300ml cold salted water (per 2P) and the stock into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Stir in the rice and bring to the boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 10 mins.
  • Remove from the heat and stir through the parsley. Keep covered for 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Make the Sauce
2
  • Quarter the lemon.
  • Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. 
  • Once hot, add the chopped tomatoes, harissa paste and a squeeze of lemon.
  • Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and allow to simmer, 5-6 mins.
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
Fry the Fish
3
  • Meanwhile, place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Pat the basa dry with kitchen paper. Season with the Mediterranean spice.
  • Once hot, lay the fillets in the pan and cook for 4-5 mins. Turn over and cook on the other side for a further 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the centre.
Divide and Serve
4
  • Divide the parsley rice between plates and top with the fried fish.
  • Spoon over the harissa sauce.
  • Sprinkle the flaked almonds on top.
  • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
