Instructions

Fry the Onions
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a deep saucepan (with a tight-fitting lid) on medium heat. Once hot, add the butter (see pantry for amount) and allow to melt.

Add the onion, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft, 8-10 mins. Add the sugar (see pantry for amount) to the onion for the last min of fry time.

Tomato Time
2

Meanwhile, boil a half-full kettle.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the tomatoes.

Add the baby plum tomatoes to a medium baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and spread out in a single layer. Roast on the middle shelf of your oven until softened, 10-12 mins.

Once cooked, remove from your oven and cover with foil to keep warm.

Bring on the Prawns and Chorizo
3

Meanwhile, drain the prawns.

Once the onion has softened, add the prawns and chorizo to the pan and stir-fry, 4-5 mins.

Once the chorizo has browned, stir in the garlic and Mexican style spice mix. Fry until fragrant, 1 min. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw prawns. Cook so they're opaque in the middle.

Add the Rice
4

Stir the rice into the chorizo until coated, 1 min.

Add the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) and chicken stock paste to the pan and bring to the boil.

Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid. Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

Finishing Touches
5

Meanwhile, zest and cut the lemon into wedges (see ingredients for amount).

Once the rice is cooked, stir in the sweet chilli sauce and roasted tomatoes. Add a squeeze of lemon juice from a lemon wedge and gently stir together.

Taste and add salt, pepper or more lemon juice if needed.

Serve Up
6

Spoon the Mexican style rice into your serving bowls.

Drizzle over the yoghurt, then top with a handful of rocket.

Serve any remaining lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.

Enjoy!
