Method

1. Fill your kettle and boil it. Rinse the rice under cold water and then tip into a small pan. Add 300ml boiling water and a pinch of salt. Pop on a lid, bring the pan to the boil then turn the heat right down and very gently simmer for 8 mins, till the rice has absorbed all the water and become tender.

2. While the rice cooks, roughly chop the chorizo. Place a deep frying pan or wok on a medium heat, add ½ tbsp olive oil and the chopped chorizo. Fry, stirring often, for 4 mins till the chorizo starts to brown and plenty of fat is released into the pan.

3. While the chorizo fries, peel and finely chop the onion. Halve the green pepper, scoop out the seeds and white bits and roughly chop the pepper. Add the onion and pepper to the pan with the chorizo. Stir and fry for 5 mins, stirring often, till the veg start to look soft and glossy.

4. While the veg fry, halve the cherry tomatoes. Halve the chilli and finely chop it, scooping out the seeds and white pith if you prefer less heat. Stir the tomatoes and chilli into the pan. Fry, stirring often, for 3-4 mins. The veg should be soft and the chorizo cooked through.

5. The rice should be cooked by now. Add it to the pan with chorizo and veg. Fry, stirring, for 2 mins to mix all the flavours together.

6. Divide the chorizo fried rice between a couple of warm bowls. Tear a few parsley leaves over the top to garnish, then serve.
