Method
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large ovenproof shallow casserole or frying pan. Add the onion and fry for 6-8 mins over a medium heat until softened, then stir in the garlic. Fry for another minute, then tip in the tomatoes, chopped basil stalks and 150ml water.
- Turn up the heat to medium-high and simmer for 8-10 mins until the cherry tomatoes start breaking down. Lightly mash with a potato masher or the back of a spoon to break the tomatoes down further, release their juices and turn saucy. Season.
- Meanwhile, lower the rice bags into a large pan of salted boiling water and cover. Simmer for 15-17 mins until the rice is tender. Lift the bags from the water and drain.
- Pat the fish fillets dry with kitchen paper and season all over. Add a splash more water to the tomatoes if you need to, to make them saucy, and stir in most of the basil. Nestle the fish fillets into the tomato sauce. Half cover with a lid or a baking sheet and simmer on a low heat for 5-8 mins until the fish is cooked through and flaky when pressed. Scatter over the remaining basil to serve. Cut the rice bags open and serve alongside the fish stew.
