ALL THE Almonds
Place the chopped Almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
GOTTO HAVE RISOTTO
Return the pan to medium-high heat with the risotto rice and 200ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until cooked through, 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain, reserving 1 cup of starchy water. Return to the pot and fluff with a fork. Cover and set aside.
MAKE IT CHEESY
Place 1 egg in a bowl and combine with the NOMU rub, the lemon juice (to taste) and seasoning. Stir in 1-2 tbsp of the warm starchy water to temper the egg, then mix through the rice. Add in ½ the grated cheese, a knob of butter (optional) and more starchy water, if needed. Season, cover and set aside.
NUTTY SALAD
Place the rinsed leaves in a bowl and toss with the drained Feta, ½ the toasted nuts, the chopped tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning.
SUPER TASTY SWORDFISH
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the swordfish dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the Fish until golden and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side (depending on the thickness of the fish fillet). In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the fish spice. Remove from the pan and season.
DELICATE & DECADENT DINNER
Make a bed of the rich citrus rice and top with the golden swordfish. Drizzle with any remaining pan juices. Serve the dressed salad on the side and garnish with the remaining toasted nuts.
