    Away with boring old spicy rice and in with some easy. affordable ideas to really spice it up.

    Ingredients

    • 100gr raw rice per person
    • 3-4 leeks - white and green parts - chopped
    • 1 onion - chopped
    • 1 red pepper - chopped
    • 1 green pepper - chopped
    • 1 yellow pepper - chopped
    • 4 spring onions - chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic - chopped
    • 2 tsp smoked paprika
    • about 2 tbsp olive oil
    • ½ tsp smoked chili flakes - optional
    • 2 sachet tomato paste
    • about 2 liters chicken stock - I used Nomu Chicken Fond
    • 250 gr snap peas or baby green beans
    • 2 wheels feta cheese
    • Fresh parsley and mint

    Directions

    1. I made this recipe in my wok. Heat the wok and add the oil. Once the oil is hot add the paprika, all the chopped vegetables and garlic. Saute for about 3-4 minutes and add all the rice. Stir until all the rice has a little oil coating. Add the stock until the rice is completely covered. Add the tomato paste. Turn the heat right down to it's lowest setting and allow the rice to cook slowly absorbing all the liquid. If the rice is not cooked and it needs more liquid, add some. Once the rice is plump and all the liquid has cooked away, add the green beans or snap peas and just stir through. Taste and season accordingly with salt and pepper. The heat from the rice is enough to just cook the beans or peas without over cooking them. Serve with chopped mint and parsley and crumble the feta cheese over the top just before serving.
