Instructions

Make rice

1 Make rice

  • Rinse and drain the rice.
  • Add the rice, a pinch of salt and the measured water to a pot with a lid and bring to a boil over a high heat.
  • Lower heat, cover and cook for 12-14 min, until rice is tender.
  • Remove from the heat and keep covered until serving.
Prep

2 Prep

  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan.
  • Peel and thinly slice the onion.
  • Slice tomatoes in half.
  • Deseed and thinly slice the pepper.
  • Peel and chop the garlic.
  • Halve the lemon and cut one half into thin slices.
  • Pick the parsley leaves and roughly chop.
Make dressing

3 Make dressing

  • Lightly crush the fennel seeds using a mortar and pestle or under a rolling pin.
  • In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, oregano, fennel seeds, a pinch of chilli flakes (spicy!), salt, pepper and parsley, reserving a small handful for serving.
Tip! Can't handle the heat? Go easy on the chilli flakes.
Arrange

4 Arrange

  • Cut 2 large (20x30cm) sheets of baking paper. Fold each in half to create a crease.
  • Open the folded paper and arrange chopped vegetables and olives on one half of each sheet, leaving space around the edges.
  • Cut the cod into portions and place each portion on top of the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the herb dressing and lemon slices on top.
Tip! Alternatively, use an oven proof dish and cover with foil.
Bake

5 Bake

  • Fold over the baking paper to cover the fish and vegetables.
  • Start from one end of the crease and fold the edges of the paper together making tight pleats.
  • Continue folding all the way round the edge to form a seal which ensures the steam and sauce does not escape.
  • Bake for 15-18 min until the fish is flakey and cooked through.
  • Once baked, cut open each parcel to reveal cooked fish and vegetables, taking care of escaping steam.
Serve

6 Serve

  • Remove the fish and vegetables from the baking paper.
  • Serve the Mediterranean Fish en Papillote on a bed of warm rice.
  • Pour over any juices from the parcel.
  • Sprinkle with reserved parsley and add a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.
