Arroz picante do Nando’s feito em casa

Ingredientes

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion (diced)
• 1 small red pepper (diced)
• 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 300 g long grain rice
• 600 ml hot chicken stock ((from a cube is fine – I use Kallo))
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 100 g frozen peas

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Place the oil, diced onion and red pepper in a reasonably large saucepan. Cover with a lid and cook over a gentle heat for 3 minutes until softened but not browned.

2. 2

   Remove the lid and add the chilli flakes, turmeric and smoked paprika. Cook for 2 more minutes. Add a splash of water if it starts to get a little dry.

3. 3

   Add the rice, chicken stock, salt and pepper. Turn the heat up and bring to the boil. Then cover with a lid and turn the heat down. Cook for 7 minutes, or until the rice is nearly cooked. (See note 1.)

4. 4

   After 7 minutes add the peas and stir. Re-cover with the lid and cook for 3 more minutes or until the rice is done to your liking and the peas are hot.

5. 5

   Serve with all your homemade Nandos favourites!
