Cooking Steps
- Prepare the stock.
- Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
- Dice the bell pepper and the tomato.
Did you know... as well as vitamin C, bell peppers are also high in vitamin E. This antioxidant is also found in sunflower oil, wholegrain products, nuts, seeds and green vegetables.
- Heat a drizzle of sunflower oil in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5 minutes until evenly browned.
- Add the garlic and onion and fry for 1 - 2 minutes. Stir in the Peruvian-style spices and fry for 1 more minute.
- Add the rice, bell pepper, tomato, Worcestershire sauce and stock.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover with the lid.
- Allow to cook gently for 20 - 25 minutes, or until the rice is done. Stir regularly so as to prevent it from sticking (see Tip).
- Heat a drizzle of sunflower oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chorizo for 5 minutes, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Tip: add an extra splash of water if it becomes too dry.
- For parents: transfer half of the jambalaya-inspired rice to the same pan you used for the chorizo. Add the smoked paprika and mix well to combine.
- Serve the jambalaya-inspired rice on plates.
