Ingredients

Scale
  • 200 g (7 oz) Chorizo, Cut into 1 cm semi circles
  • 1 Onion, Diced
  • 2 Yellow peppers, Sliced
  • 1 tbsp Tomato puree
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 2 tsp Garlic granules
  • 300 g (10 oz) Basmati rice, Rinsed and drained

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180℃ fan/350F/200℃/Gas Mark 6.
  2. In a baking dish, combine the chorizo and onion. Bake for 10 minutes until chorizo releases oil.

  4. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway. If needed, add more stock to keep rice submerged.
  5. Mix in the peas, cover, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the rice is cooked. Add chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Ensure the rice is fully submerged in stock during baking for even cooking.
Feel free to add more spices if you enjoy extra heat or flavor.
Fresh herbs can be substituted for parsley for variation.
