Spicy chorizo jambalaya (serves 4, preparation time 10 minutes, cooking time 20 - 45 depending on r

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

• 1 red onion sliced

• 2 red peppers sliced thinly

• 3 cloves of garlic, crushed

• 100g chorizo diced

• 1 teaspoon of paprika

• 1 teaspoon of cayenne

• 2 red finger chillies

• 250g rice - I use brown rice which will take longer to cook, but you could use long-grain rice instead.

• 400g carton of chopped tomatoes

• 800ml vegetable stock

• tablespoon of chopped coriander

• juice of half a lime

Optional Extras:

Here’s what you do:

Step 1 - Heat the oil in the pan and add the onion, peppers and chorizo and cook until the vegetables until they are tender and then add the garlic and spices.

Step 2 - Add the rice to the saucepan and stir to ensure that all of the grains are coated. Add the tomatoes and stock to the pan and simmer.

Step 3 - Simmer the mixture until the rice is tender. This should only take 20 - 25 minutes for long-grain rice but may take over 45 minutes for brown rice.

Step 4 - Add the chopped coriander, seasoning and lime juice and serve.

This is quite a spicy little number so if you would like a more sedate dish, simply cut back on the spices and chillies.

Kitchen implements required:

• Chopping board

• Sharp knife

• Large Frying pan

• Wooden spatula
