Chorizo Rice Recipe

Ingredients

• 10oz / 280g basmati rice, cooked
• 4oz / 115g chorizo
• 1 yellow pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1oz / 35g coriander
• 1 tbsp / 15ml olive oil

Method

1. To cook the rice (100g dry weight): Bring a pan of water to the boil. Add the rice and allow to simmer for 7 minutes. Drain the rice, return to the pan and place a lid on. Set aside for 7 minutes to finish steaming.
2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil. Cut the chorizo into small cubes and fry in the oil to release the fats from the sausage. Peel and chop the onion and add it to the pan. Deseed and dice the pepper, and add this as well. Fry until the onions are starting to brown.
3. Add the rice to the fried ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined. Chop the coriander and mix most of it through the rice as well, reserving a little to garnish. Serve immediately with the remaining coriander on top.
