Nando's Spicy Rice, Nando's Spicy Rice

David found this Nando's spicy rice recipe on the Easy Peasie Food blog when searching on Google for a flavoured rice recipe.

We enjoyed it alongside our paprika roast chicken recipe and think it would also be good with portuguese chicken and piri piri pork ribs.

A delicious one pan full of flavour rice side dish that has quite a bit of heat from the chilli flakes and spices - turmeric is one of my favourites!   It's ready in under 30 minutes and will cook away on the hob while you're preparing your main dish.

Tips

  • Rice - please do check the cooking time for the brand of rice you are using. Different brands vary enormously in their recommended cooking times. The long grain rice that I used in this recipe stated on the packet that it took 18 minutes to cook – some may be shorter or longer, therefore, make sure you taste it at regular intervals so that it’s not over or under cooked.
  • Suitable for freezing – leftovers can be frozen in an airtight container for up to a month.   Make sure when you reheat it that it’s piping hot.
  • This Nando’s spicy rice recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a reasonably large saucepan over a medium to low heat. Add the chopped onion and red pepper, cover with a lid and cook over a gentle heat for 3 minutes until softened but not browned.
  2. Remove the lid and add the chilli flakes, turmeric and smoked paprika. Cook for 2 more minutes, adding a splash of water if it starts to get a little dry.

  4. 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.
