400g basmati rice

1 tin of chopped tomatoes

1 red pepper

1 red onion

1 garlic clove

Chilli powder (optional)

Chop and cook half onion in a wok with oregano. (about 8 minutes)

Meanwhile, wash rice thoroughly to remove the starch. Par-boil the rice for 5 mins until almost cooked, drain and set aside.

Make sauce in a blender: tomatoes, pepper, half the red onion, the garlic and chilli until smooth.

When onion is cooked, add the other spices with 1 tsp sea salt, cook for a few mins more, then add the tomato purée and cook for 1-2 mins.

Add half the tomato and pepper mix (freeze the rest for future use). Add the semi-cooked rice and mix thoroughly to coat with the sauce.

Cook for 5-10 minutes more. Season to taste.
