Ingredients

  • 2 pack Qetoe Rice

  • 150g spicy chorizo, thinly sliced
  • 1 red capsicum (bell pepper), diced
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges, to serve

Directions

  1. Prepare Qetoe Rice: Empty the Qetoe Rice into a bowl. Pour boiling water over the rice, just enough to cover it. Place a plate or lid on top and let it sit for 5 minutes so it can absorb and fluff up. Then drain well and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo slices and cook for 3–4 minutes, until browned and slightly crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the onion, capsicum, and garlic. Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. Add cherry tomatoes and smoked paprika. Stir and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the tomatoes start to break down into a sauce.
  5. Add the prepared Qetoe Rice to the skillet and toss to combine, making sure it’s fully coated in all the smoky tomato juices.
  6. Return the chorizo to the pan and stir everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
