Ingredients:
- 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 red pepper, washed, deseeded and finely chopped
- 150g mushrooms, washed and sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 2 tsp olive or vegetable oil
- 200g long grain white rice
- 250ml reduced salt chicken stock
- 400g tinned chopped tomatoes
- ¼ tsp saffron
- 10 pitted black olives
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley or basil
Allergens: vegetable stock ingredients will vary, may contain celery.
Method:
- Wash the pepper and mushrooms; deseed and finely chop the pepper and slice the mushrooms. Peel the onion and garlic, then finely chop the onion and crush the garlic.
- Place a large frying pan over a medium heat and add the olive oil, onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the onion is softened and translucent – add a small amount of water if you need to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Stir in the long grain rice and cook for 5 minutes. Then, add the stock, chopped tomatoes and saffron, and stir to combine.
- Cover the pan with a lid, turn the temperature to low and leave to simmer for 20 minutes. Check and stir occasionally to ensure the rice is not sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- When almost cooked through, add the sliced pepper and mushrooms, stir and leave to simmer for another 8-10 minutes, until almost all of the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the olives and chopped herbs, divide into four portions and serve.
