WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large deep frying pan. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 mins until softened but not browned.
- Meanwhile, soak the saffron strands in 60ml (4tbsp) boiling water for 5 mins then add the wine and stock.
- Add the rice to the pan and cook for 1 min then stir in the saffron flavoured liquid.
- Cover and simmer for 20 mins, stirring occasionally until nearly all the liquid has been absorbed.
- Add the monkfish, raw prawns and peas to the pan. Cover and cook for a further 10-15 mins until the fish is cooked through and the prawns are pink. Stir the pilau gently every 5 mins and add a little more stock or water if necessary.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and add a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve garnished with the fresh chopped dill.
