NANDO'S SPICY RICE

Steps:

• Dice onion and bell pepper. Finely grate or dice the garlic.
• Heat up the olive oil in a pot on the stove top on medium heat.
• Add onion to the pot, and sauté for a few minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.
• Add garlic, seasoning and peppers to the pot. Sauté for a further minute.
• Wash the rice under running water, and add it to the pot along with the chicken stock.
• Cover the pot with a lid, and bring the rice to a boil. Leave it to boil for 1-2 minutes, then turn the heat completely off. Leave the pot to sit on the warm surface for about 10 minutes. The rice will cook in the steam.
• Add frozen peas to the rice, and stir to combine. Cover with a lid, and leave for 1-2 minutes. The peas will thaw.
• Optionally, season the rice with salt and pepper, then serve.
