INGREDIENTS FOR 4 PERSONS

Approx. 800 g royal cod fillet
4-8 spring onions
500 g cherry tomatoes
4 artichokes (alternatively 4 small fennel bulbs)
4 small zucchini
4 tbsp pitted olives (Taggiasca if possible)
4 tbsp olive oil
2 hot peppers (peperoncino), cut into pieces as desired
320 ml white wine or Prosecco
Salt
2 teaspoons fennel seeds (optional)
8 saffron threads (optional)
8 tsp TOMAMI # 2
Salt & pepper
4 dashes of lemon juice to taste
Some olive oil
Dry rice (long grain rice)

INSTRUCTIONS

Rinse the fish fillet in cold water, dry with kitchen paper.
Clean the spring onions, halve them lengthways with the greens and cut into 1 cm pieces.
Leave the cherry tomatoes whole or cut in half, depending on their size. Clean the
artichokes, cut the bases into quarters, peel the stems, cut them into pieces and put everything in lemon water. Slice the zucchini into rounds.
Sauté the spring onions in a saucepan in olive oil, add the artichokes and zucchini and sauté. Add the tomatoes, olives and peperoncino, top up with white wine and season with salt. Stir in the remaining spices and Tomami and bring to a boil.

Cook the rice separately in salted water until al dente, drain in a sieve. As soon as the vegetables have drawn some water, season with salt and pepper and add the fish. Simmer with a lid over a low heat for 5 minutes, then carefully turn the fish and simmer for another 5 minutes (depending on the thickness a little longer).

To serve, carefully arrange the fish on plates with the rice. Season the vegetables with a splash of lemon juice, add to the fish and drizzle with a little olive oil.

Preparation time: approx. 35 minutes
