Preheat the oven to 180°C. Boil a full kettle. Dilute the stock with 400ml of boiling water. Place the pine nuts in a pot (large enough for the risotto) over a medium heat. Toast the pine nuts for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion.
RAVISHING RISOTTO
Return the pot to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir through the rice for about 30 seconds. Add ½ the diluted stock and mix until fully combined. Leave to simmer for 6-7 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed, mixing occasionally. Add the remaining diluted stock and bring to a boil. Once boiling, place in a small oven proof dish. Pop in the hot oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is cooked, mixing halfway.
BLISTERED TOMATOES
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halved tomatoes for 3-4 minutes until lightly charred and blistered. Remove from the pan and season to taste.
PARSLEY GREMOLATA
Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to a medium heat with a knob of butter or a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the breadcrumbs and fry for 2-3 minutes until lightly toasted. In the final minute, add the grated garlic and fry until fragrant, shifting constantly. Remove from the heat on completion. Mix through ½ the chopped parsley and seasoning. Remove from the pan on completion.
YUMMY YELLOWTAIL
When the risotto has 5-10 minutes to go, pat the yellowtail dry with some paper towel and season. Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the fish, skin-side down, for 3-5 minutes until the skin is turning crispy and golden. Flip, add a knob of butter (optional) and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until cooked through. When the risotto is done, drain any excess liquid if necessary, and stir through the juice of 1 lemon wedge, the orange juice, lemon zest, seasoning, and a knob of butter (optional).
FISH FEAST!
