Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium. Add 1 cup arborio rice and stir for 2 minutes until edges turn translucent.

  2. Step 2

    Add 1 diced zucchini and 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until zucchini softens slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in 3 cups hot vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring often. Cook until rice is creamy and al dente, about 18 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Cut 0.5 lb white fish into chunks and add with 0.5 cup olives. Cook 5 minutes until fish flakes easily.

  5. Step 5

    Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if you like.
