Another cold weather recipe! This one-pot wonder is easy to throw together at the end of the day with whatever you have and like. The spicier you make it the more it warms you up!
- 1 chicken breast, and/or ham, chorizo or any meat, diced (or nomeat for a veggie meal)
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 green capsicum, diced
- 1 mildly hot pepper (eg jalapeno), seeded and diced
- 1 cup uncooked white or brown rice
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 can diced tomato
- Seasonings added to taste:
- cumin, cayenne, chilli powder,
red pepper flakes, hot sauce,
salt, pepper - 2 cans of black beans or other beans, drained
Mix all ingredients together, except beans in a large skillet or small stock pan. Cover and bring to a boil then reduce heat and cook until rice is done. Add beans and heat through.
I like to add lime juice and fresh coriander at the end of cooking for a bit of a lift. It could be served with sour cream to cool the heat.
