Fiesta Fish

FIESTA FISH

¾ orzo 
1 ½ cups broth
Approximately ¼ cup olive oil
Use a large frying pan to brown the orzo slightly in a couple tablespoons of olive oil, and add the broth.

Wash and chop the following:
2 leeks
1 red bell pepper
2 small zucchini
2 small yellow crook neck squash
1 small celery bunch
10 leaves fresh basil

Add all of the vegetables to the pasta. Drizzle remaining olive oil over vegetables, add salt, and a shake of oregano, and let simmer on low.

In a separate pan:

Saute 3 cloves minced garlic

Add ½ cup white wine

1 ½ lbs mild white fish (tilapia, cod, orange roughy)

Liberally sprinkle the fish with red pepper flakes and cook until the fish is flaky.

 Add chopped basil to top of vegetables. When fish is cooked, lay it on top of the vegetable rice mix. Pop the skillet into a 350 oven for 10 to 15 minutes to finish the dish.

Serve with garlic toast and white wine.
