  1. READY THE RICE

    Place a pot for the rice over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry ½ the diced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the rinsed rice and 150ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. PERFECT PUTTANESCA

    Place a deep pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the remaining onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic, the NOMU rub, and the tomato paste. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the wine and simmer until almost all evaporated, 30-60 seconds.

  3. ALMOST TIME TO WINE & DINE

    When the wine is almost all evaporated, add the tomato passata, 100ml of water, the drained capers, and the halved olives. Lower the heat and simmer until slightly reduced, 8-10 minutes. Stir through ½ the chopped oregano, a sweetener, and seasoning.

  4. CRISPY-SKIN HAKE

    Place a clean pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). Pat the hake dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the hake, skin-side down, until crispy, 3-4 minutes. Flip and fry the other side until cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and season.
