Sieve
Pot with Lid

Instructions

Make the Rice
1
  • Pour 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
  • Once boiling, lower the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 10 mins.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Keep covered for 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Prep the Veg
2
  • Halve, peel and then finely chop the onion.
  • Trim the courgette then quarter lengthways. Chop into 1cm chunks.
  • Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
  • Drain and rinse the cannellini beans in a sieve.
Fry the Onion
3
  • Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil
  • Once hot, add the onion and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the onion until softened,  stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
Add the Mince
4
  • Add the pork mince and fry until browned, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the cannellini beans to the pot along with the Central American spice and paprika.
  • Cook, stirring continuously, for 1 min.
Simmer the Chilli
5
  • Add passata, stock powder and 150ml water (double for 4p).
  • Bring to the boil then lower the heat, cover and simmer for 10-12 mins.
  • When the stew has 5 mins of cooking time left, remove the lid and add the chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice) and courgette. Cook, uncovered, until softened, 4-5 mins.
  • Taste and season with salt, pepper and sugar.

TIP: Loosen with a splash of water if necessary!

Finish and Serve
6
  • Fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between bowls.
