If you like, you cooking. could use the bok choy stalks, thinly sliced, in with the rice to give it even more freshness and texture. There’ll be plenty of green rice leftover from tonight’s dinner, which will be great for lunch the next day paired with your favourite protein!


Ingredients

Green Rice

  • ½ cup Japanese brown rice
  • ¾ cup vegetable or chicken stock
  • ½ courgette
  • ¼-½ baby bok choy, end trimmed 1cm
  • 1/3 bag baby spinach
  • 1 pottle salsa verde
  • Zest and juice of ½ lemon

Cajun-Style Blackened Fish

  • 150g fish fillets
  • 1½ teaspoons Cajun spice mix

Mango Yoghurt

  • 2 tablespoons yoghurt
  • ½-1 tablespoon mango and coconut sauce

Steps

  1. Preheat BBQ hot plate to high (if using). Combine rice and stock and in a small pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid at any time during you cooking.
  2. While rice is cooking, pat fish dry and remove any remaining scales or bones. Cut any larger fillets in half and season with Cajun spice mix. Set aside to marinate.
  3. While fish is marinating, grate courgette, thinly slice bok choy leaves (discard stalk) and baby spinach. Set aside. In a small bowl, mix together all mango yoghurt ingredients and season to taste. Set aside.
  4. When rice has about 5 minutes steam time remaining, heat a drizzle of oil in a small, (preferably non-stick) fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook fish for 1-2 minutes each side, until just cooked through.
  5. Fluff up rice with a fork, add all remaining green rice ingredients and toss together. Season to taste.
  6. To serve, place half the green rice onto a plate and top with Cajun-style blackened fish and a dollop of mango yoghurt.
