Instructions

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 and caramelised, 1-2 mins more.

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.

Meanwhile, once the onion has softened, add the chorizo to the pan and fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins.

Once the chorizo has browned, stir in the garlic and Mexican style spice mix. Fry until fragrant, 1 min.

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).

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

Once the rice is cooked, stir in the peas, red pepper chilli jelly and roasted tomatoes. Add a squeeze of lemon juice from a lemon wedge and gently stir together.

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