Method

  1. Add the chopped onion and sliced pepper to a large saucepan with a drizzle of vegetable oil or olive oil. Cook until softened, then add the rice and dry white wine. Simmer until reduced by half, then stir in the stock and green sauce. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 12 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, season the hake fillets with salt and pepper, then brush with the harissa. After 12 minutes, nestle the fish in the rice and cook uncovered for another 12-13 minutes or until the rice is cooked. Serve with a drizzle of crème fraîche spiked with a little finely grated lemon zest.
