Steps
Step 1

Add the rice and stir in well. Add 600ml water, stir, then bring to the boil.

The rice will be perfectly cooked if you do not lift the lid before the end of the cooking. Meanwhile, put the haddock and bay leaves in a frying pan, cover with the milk, then poach for 10 mins until the flesh flakes.
