A salty, flavour-packed chorizo dish!


Ingredients

JASMINE RICE

  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 3 cups water
  • ½ teaspoon salt

SPANISH CHORIZO AND BEANS

  • 1 brown onion, finely diced
  • 400g Spanish chorizo
  • 2 tablespoons Spanish spice blend
  • 1 courgette, sliced 0.5cm
  • ¼ cup white wine or water
  • 1 can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tomatoes, diced 2cm

COS SALAD

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons mustard (e.g. Dijon, wholegrain)
  • 2 teaspoons vinegar (e.g. white wine, red wine, cider)
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 baby cos lettuce
  • 100g feta cheese

Steps

  1. BBQ hot plate to high (if using).
  2. Combine all rice ingredients in a medium pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  3. While rice cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Cook onion and chorizo for 5-6 minutes, until onions are caramelised and softened.
  4. Add Spanish spice blend and courgette to pan and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add white wine/ water to pan, reduce heat to medium and cook for about 1 minute, until water is almost evaporated.
  5. Add cannellini beans and tomatoes and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, until tomatoes begin to soften. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. While Spanish chorizo and beans are cooking, whisk together olive oil, mustard, vinegar and lemon juice in a large bowl. Peel carrot into long, thin ribbons; roughly shred cos lettuce; crumble feta. Add all to bowl with dressing and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper
  7. Spoon ¾ cup cooked rice per person into bowls and spoon over Spanish chorizo and beans. Top with a handful of cos salad.
