2. 2

   For the spicy rice, sauté 1/4 diced red onion and 1/4 diced bell pepper in a pan until softened.

4. 4

   Add 1 tsp fresh minced garlic and 1 tsp tomato puree to the vegetables and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add 50g of rice, 180ml chicken stock, and 1/8 tsp each of salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and oregano. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.

   Prepare the peas by cooking 100g of peas with 1 tsp garlic. Once cooked, mash or mix with a handful of fresh mint and the juice of 1 lemon.
