Ingredients
- 1.5 Cups of Basmati Rice (approximately 300g)
- 2 Peeled and Chopped Garlic Cloves
- 1 Large Red Onion (peeled)
- 1 Medium Pointed Red Sweet Pepper
- 200g Tin Chopped Tomatoes
- 100g Cherry Tomatoes
- 1 tbsp Tomato Puree
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Vegetable Stock Cube
- 1/2 Cup of Frozen Peas (approximately 100g)
- Small Bunch of Fresh Coriander
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Chilli Flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste.
Method
- Cover and soak the basmati rice in boiled hot water and set aside.
- Chop the garlic, onion and pepper and gently fry in the olive oil in a large deep pan on a medium heat.
- Add the chopped cherry tomatoes and tinned tomatoes, paprika and chilli flakes.
- Drain the rice and add to the pan, stirring to combine, and allow to simmer on a medium heat.
- Dissolve the stock cube in a pint of boiling water. Stir and pour over the rice - the liquid should just cover the rice. Add a little more water if required.
- Season with salt and pepper, turn the heat to low and cover with a lid.
- Simmer for around 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, stir in the frozen peas.
- Leave to simmer for a further 10 minutes before removing the lid, stirring everything and checking that the rice is soft.
- If the rice is still firm or has too much of a bite in the centre, place the lid back over the pan and allow to simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Once the rice is cooked through, finely chop the fresh coriander and stir through the rice dish.
- Serve and enjoy!
Top Tips...
- If you find that you have added too much water, remove the lid to allow steam to escape and the water should slowly evaporate during the simmering process.
- To increase the portion of vegetables in this dish, add grated carrot, sweetcorn or your choice of vegetables.
- We love to serve this dish with a tablespoon of natural yoghurt, soy yoghurt or creme fraiche for a creamy finish.
- This dish is a great option for meal prep; increase the portions made and store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days!
