Ingredients
    1/2 lb long grain and wild rice (about 1 1/4 cups)
    3 tbsp all-purpose flour
    1 tsp ground paprika
    1 1/2 tbsp butter
    7 tbsp olive oil
    4 None chunky white fish fillets, such as cod or halibut, skinned, each about 1/3 lb
    1 - 15 oz can red kidney beans, drained
    2/3 lb celery, sliced
    2 None limes, zested and juiced
    2 tbsp light brown sugar
    1 None red chili, deseeded and finely chopped

Preparation
    Put the rice in a saucepan with 2 1/4 cups boiling water. Add a little salt and cook gently for 15-20 mins until the rice is tender and the water has evaporated.
