A five-ingredient wonder delivering fragrant, fluffy rice, perfectly steamed fish, and soft cherry tomatoes with a punch of olive tapenade straight from the store cupboard. Swap cod for any firm white fish โ haddock, pollock, or sea bass all work well.

Combine the rice with 2 heaped tsp of tapenade in a large shallow casserole pan over high heat. Pour in 600 ml water.
Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes and toss in a bowl with 1 tbsp each of olive oil and red wine vinegar.
Season with salt and pepper, and tear in most of the basil leaves.
Divide the fish into four equal portions and nestle them into the rice, pressing down gently.
Scatter the dressed tomatoes over the top. Cover again and cook for 10 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through. Remove the lid and cook for a further 2 minutes until all the liquid has evaporated.
Spoon the remaining tapenade over the fish, scatter over the remaining basil leaves, drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil, and serve.
