Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C and prepare the stock.
  • Cut the Romano pepper into strips and slice the onion into 8 wedges.
  • Slice the courgette into crescents. Crush or mince the garlic.
  • Finely chop the salami.
  • Discard the rosemary stem and finely chop the leaves.

Did you know... courgettes are technically classified as a fruit, as are cucumbers, pumpkins and tomatoes. Courgettes are high in iron, vitamin C and calcium.

Roast the chicken and vegetables
2

  • Drizzle with olive oil, scatter over the rosemary and season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat.
  • Top with the chicken and coat with half of the oregano. Drizzle with oilve oil and roast in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Add the salami to the vegetables and return to the oven for 13 - 15 more minutes.
Toast the rice
3
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the garlic for 1 minute.
  • Add the rice to the pan and toast the grains for 1 minute.
Cook the rice
4
  • Pour in the stock and cook the rice, covered, over low heat.
  • The rice is done when the grains are soft but still al dente. This should take around 12 - 15 minutes.
  • Add extra water and cook longer if you'd prefer the rice to be less al dente.
Finish
5
  • In the meantime, chop the parsley.
  • Stir the white wine vinegar into the rice.
  • Add the roasted vegetables, salami, smoked paprika and the remaining oregano to the rice. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then mix well to combine.
Serve
6
