Ingredients

  • 250g basmati rice, rinsed
  • 500ml hot vegetable stock
  • 300g frozen broad beans
  • 1 unwaxed lemon, zest and juice, plus extra wedges for squeezing
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed or grated
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 handful flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
  • 1 small bunch dill, roughly chopped
  • 200g trout flakes

Method

  • Step 1

    Put the rice in a large microwave-safe bowl. Pour the stock over the rice; stir well. Cover (if using microwave-safe wrap, pierce to let the steam escape); sit the bowl on a microwave-safe plate to catch drips and microwave for 12 mins. Remove; leave to stand, covered, for 10 mins.

  • Step 2

    Meanwhile, put the broad beans in another microwave-safe bowl with a few splashes of water, cover with a microwave-safe plate and blast for 2 mins. Remove, tip into a colander and refresh under cold running water until cooled; drain well.

  • Step 3

    Stir the broad beans into the rice, with the lemon zest and juice, garlic, olive oil, most of the herbs and plenty of seasoning. Fold through the trout. Divide between 4 plates and scatter over the remaining herbs. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
