Cooking at home can (and should) be a flavorful, sophisticated and—above all—accessible experience. With the right ingredients, even dishes that look like they came straight from a fine restaurant become simple and entirely achievable.
Now that the days are getting milder, meals call for lightness, freshness and authentic taste. With this in mind, ONI presents a recipe that brings the best of the sea to your table, paired with the excellence of our products: hake fillet with an aromatic lemon and herb crust, served with irresistible creamy rice and roasted carrots.
A light, aromatic, and comforting dish—perfect for special dinners or days when you want to take your meals up a notch.
Hake Fillets: Season the hake fillets with salt, pepper, chopped garlic, and lemon juice. Let marinate for a few minutes. Meanwhile, combine lemon zest with chopped parsley and a drizzle of oil or olive oil to form a fragrant paste. Spread this crust over each fillet and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 15 to 20 minutes, until golden.
Creamy Rice:
In a pot, sauté chopped onion in olive oil until translucent. Add carolino rice and stir well. Gradually add hot water, stirring constantly as you would with a risotto. Continue cooking until the rice becomes creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Roasted Carrots:
Peel and cut the carrots into sticks or rounds. Season with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a bit of chopped parsley. Roast in the oven alongside the hake for about 15 to 20 minutes until soft and caramelized.
Spoon the creamy rice onto a deep plate, gently place the hake fillet on top, and serve with the roasted carrots on the side. Finish with a few drops of lemon juice and freshly chopped parsley.
