1. 1

   Cook the rice in double its volume of fast boiling salted water.

2. 2

   Stir in the nuts and 5-6 tablespoons chopped mint or watercress. (Watercress is good but mint is even better for this dish.)

3. 3

   Press the mixture firmly into a lightly oiled ring mould, cover and chill for a couple of hours or more.

4. 4

   Close to serving time, halve the grapes and toss them in the juice of half a lemon plus scant 1 tablespoon oil.

5. 5

   Add some mint or watercress sprigs.

6. 6

   Skin, bone and flake the fish and mix it in gently.

7. 7

   Unmould the ring of rice, put some of the fish and grape mixture into the centre and garnish with sprigs of mint or watercress.

8. 8

   Serve the rest of the fish mixture in a separate bowl, and hand round the well-chilled yoghurt in a second bowl.
