          Gently shake the red mullet, then cut off the head and fillet keeping the scraps for the soup. Heat the oil in a pan and add the chopped onion, pine nuts, the chopped tender part of the fennel and the tomato paste. Gently brown everything, stirring, and then add the saffron and the red mullet fillets. Season with salt and pepper, and in a few minutes complete the cooking of the ragout. Leave to cool.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          For the rice<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/p>

          Finely chop the onion and let it wilt in a pan with the oil, then add the water, 20 g of salt and the saffron and bring to a boil. At this point, pour the rice into the pan and, stirring, cook until the water has completely evaporated. Remove from the heat, add a pinch of pepper and some chopped butter, and cream the rice; then spread it out on a surface to cool.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/p>

          Dry the bones of the red mullet in a 60\u00b0C oven, then fry them in a little hot oil until crispy. Heat a little oil in a pan and brown the garlic clove. When it is golden, add the parsley, the tomato puree and, after a few minutes of slight boiling, add the heads of red mullet and turn off the heat. At this point, filter, add the fried bones, blend everything and, again, filter; finally, adjust the salt to enhance the flavours.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
