The ỌBÀ Pilaf

The king’s rice. Pan-seared fish, ỌBÀ’S BLEND stir-fried vegetables, white rice. A plate that knows exactly what it is.

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 25 mins | Serves: 2

---

Ingredients

• 2 white fish fillets (tilapia, sea bass, or bream)
• 3 tbsp ỌBÀ’S BLEND
• 200g white rice, cooked
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Mixed stir-fry vegetables (cabbage, beansprouts, carrots, peppers, spring onion)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• Salt and black pepper to season

Method

1. Coat the fish fillets generously with 2 tbsp ỌBÀ’S BLEND. Season with salt and pepper. Leave to marinate for 10 minutes.
2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the fish for 4–5 minutes each side until a deep, caramelised crust forms. Do not rush this.
3. In the same pan, add the vegetables and soy sauce. Stir-fry on high heat for 3–4 minutes until just tender but still with bite.
4. Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp ỌBÀ’S BLEND through the vegetables in the final minute.
5. Plate the rice first. Lay the fish over it. Pile the vegetables alongside. Spoon any pan juices over everything.
6. Serve immediately. This is a plate that commands the table.

Serving Suggestion

ỌBÀ’S BLEND forms a fragrant, caramelised crust on the fish and weaves through the vegetables with herb depth and warmth. White rice is not a side here — it is the foundation everything is built on.
