Instructions

STEP 1:

bacon
butter
onion

1 Chop and fry 1 big fat onion and 2 cups bacon with butter &/or oil, stirring when necessary til bacon cooked and maybe just a teensy bit browned. A large non-stick pan is best.

STEP 2:

coriander
cumin
herbs

2 Add a pinch of each of the mixed herbs, coriander & cumin and continue stirring gently for a minute or so.

STEP 3:

rice

3 Add 3/4 cup rice per person (this serves 2-3)and stir til rice starts to go clear.

STEP 4:

ham
rice
tea
tomato

4 Make pint of stock with 1 or 2 stock cubes (chicken or ham are best) plus 2 teaspoons of tomato puree. Stir well and add a cupful to the rice. Add a sloosh of wine if you like at this point too.

STEP 5:

pear
tomato

5 When the stock has disappeared (keep stirring making sure it doesn’t stick) add the tin of tomatoes and another cup of stock. Cook and stir til it’s absorbed.

STEP 6:

kale
rice
spinach

6 Keep adding stock followed by water if necessary until the rice is cooked. With the last liquid I often add a cup of chopped spinach/mange tout/kale.

STEP 7:

bread
cream
ketchup
parmesan
tomato

7 Add a squirt of ketchup,salt and pepper and stir for the last time. Enjoy the creamy tomatoey goodness with salad or bread or whatever you think. We sometimes add some parmesan too.
