Ingredients
- 200 g rice
- 1/2 onion peeled and diced
- 1/2 red chilli deseeded and finely diced
- 1/2 green pepper deseeded and diced
- 100 g frozen peas
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 vegetable stock cube
- 1 dash hot sauce optional
- low-calorie cooking spray
- 1 dash hot sauce optional
- 10 g fresh coriander chopped
- 1 lime (juice only)
Instructions
-
Cook the rice according to the packet instructions, adding the stock cube to the water before cooking. Once the rice is cooked, place it to one side.
-
Spray a frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray, and set on a low heat. Add the onion, chilli, and pepper, and fry gently for 5-8 minutes – until the vegetables have softened.
-
Add the cooked rice and peas to your pan, then sprinkle over the paprika, cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to mix everything together.
-
If you’re using hot sauce, add a dash to your pan and stir again. Before serving, sprinkle over the coriander and a squeeze of lime juice. If you’re feeling daring, add some extra fresh chopped chillies!
