60 gr dried basmati rice

Make individual parcels of oven foil and put the cod fillet on a bed of leaves of leek. Add the chopped spring onion and season with pepper, lemon zest and a little olive oil. Then cover with some more leaves of leek. Put the tomatoes on the vine inside the parcel, along with the basil leaves. Press the foil together so you have it completely sealed. Put both parcels in an oven dish and bake for 30 minutes.
If using the potatoes: boil them until tender
If using the rice: glaze the chopped onion in a frying pan, then add the vegetable stock and dried rice. Leave to simmer until chicken stock is reduced.
Serve the cod along the rice or potatoes with some more lemon zest, chopped chives and a drizzle of olive oil.
