Cooking Steps
1
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and prepare the stock. Boil a shallow layer of water in a pot or saucepan.
- Quarter the fennel and remove the tough core, then cut into thin strips (see Tip).
- Boil the fennel for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, cut the tomato into wedges. Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
Tip: you can set aside any fennel fronds to use later as garnish.
2
- Transfer the bacon to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the tomato and the fennel to an oven dish, then top with the fish and drizzle with the olive oil.
- Bake in the oven for 5 - 8 minutes, then add the bacon to the oven and cook everything for 8 - 10 minutes.
- Transfer the bacon to kitchen paper and allow to cool.
3
- Melt a knob of butter in a wok or deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the onion with the garlic for 2 minutes, then stir in the orzo and fry for 1 more minute.
- Deglaze with the white balsamic vinegar and the stock.
- Cover with the lid and boil the orzo for 10 - 12 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Add some more water as necessary if the orzo becomes too dry.
4
- Crumble the bacon into smaller pieces.
- Transfer the fennel, the tomato and half of the bacon to the orzo.
- Add half of the cooking juices from the oven dish, then mix well and add some more cooking juices as preferred.
- Serve the orzo on plates, topped with the fish and the rest of the bacon.
