Instructions

1
  • Boil a half-full kettle.
  • Meanwhile, drain the mixed beans. 
2
  • In a saucepan, combine the passata, Cajun spice mix, red wine stock paste, beans, chicken, water and honey (see pantry for both).
  • Bring to the boil, lower the heat and cook for 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
3
  • Meanwhile, pour the boiled water from the kettle into another saucepan with 0.25 tsp salt on high heat. 
  • Boil the rice, 10-12 mins.
  • Grate the cheese. 

 

4
  • Once the stew is ready, season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in a knob of butter (if you have any). Add a splash of water if needed. 
  • Once the rice cooked, drain well then share out between your bowls.
  • Spoon over the stew and serve with the cheese on top. 

Enjoy!
