Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • 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.

Fry the chicken
2
  • Heat a generous drizzle of sunflower oil in a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the chorizo for 5 minutes, then transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
  • In the same pan, sear the chicken for 5 minutes until evenly browned.
Add the rice
3
  • Add the garlic and the onion and fry for 1 - 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the Mexican-style spices* and the Worcestershire sauce, then fry for 1 more minute.
  • Add the rice, the bell pepper, the tomato and the stock.
  • Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover with the lid.

*Take care, this ingredient is spicy! Use as preferred.

Serve
4
  • Allow to cook gently for 20 - 25 minutes, or until the rice is done.
  • Stir regularly so as to prevent it from sticking, adding an extra splash of water as necessary if it seems too dry.
  • Serve the rice on plates and top with the chorizo.
