This lightly spiced Creole-style rice dish is cooked in one pan and is ready in just 30 minutes, making it a perfect midweek meal for the whole family.

  • Children's
Preparation time:
5 minutes
Cooking time:
30 minutes
Total time:
35 minutes 35 minutes
Serves:
 Serves 6 children

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp oil
  • ½ x 110g pack Revilla Chorizo de Pueblo, skin removed and sliced
  • 340g pack Waitrose 12 Organic Free Range Pork Chipolatas
  • 225g Waitrose Easy Cook Long Grain Rice
  • 400g can Waitrose Chopped Tomatoes with Chopped Herbs
  • 450ml chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 red and 1 green pepper, deseeded and cubed
  • 1 bunch salad onions, chopped

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the chorizo for 2-3 minutes, until the paprika oil is released. Add the chipolatas and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned on all sides. Tip in the rice and stir until coated in the oil.
  2. Add the tomatoes and stock then cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the peppers and salad onions, reserving some chopped onion. Cover and cook for a further 10 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Serve garnished with the reserved onion.

Cook's tips

For a spicier, more adult, taste add 1 teaspoon of hot chilli powder or a dash of Tabasco. Substitute cubed skinless chicken breast for the sausages, if you prefer. Recipe will serve four adults, adjusting nutrition accordingly.

I picked this up months ago and made it for friends and everyone keeps asking me for the recipe. My 2 year old loves it (even with a little added chilli). Fantastic recipe and I might even have it tonight!!!

Came across this recipe about 6 months ago and it has become a firm favourite of mine, it's also good with chicken and healthier :)

our fabulous food demonstrator treated the ladies group to this dish and instead of using rice she replaced it with quinoa this was the first time i had tried this ingredient which i understand is gluten free so great for people with this intollerence . the dish was delicous and i can fully recommend it.

We also add the whole chorizo - this recipe is a complete winner. As others have said it makes quite a lot so there is more than enough for lunch the next day. It also freezes really well.

My partner and I loved this and thought it was delicious. I halved the recipe but added all the chorizo as we have big appetites and added Tabasco to pep it up - yum yum!

I made this on Tuesday for a family who are not overally enamoured by sausage but they loved this. There was a little bit left which I took cold for lunch the next day with a salad and it was still tasty.

I added a handful of prawns and some chilli when I made this - great. Here's my photo - I guess you can add a lot of different things like frozen peas etc although it's probbly not authentic jambalaya!
