Provided by Lucy Netherton

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 good-quality pork sausages (we used pork & chilli)
sunflower oil , for frying
1 onion , chopped
1 red pepper , chopped
2 garlic cloves , crushed
1 tbsp sweet smoked paprika
250g easy-cook long grain rice
400g can chopped tomato with garlic & herbs
400-500ml chicken stock
260g pack cooked and peeled king prawn

Steps:

  • Fry the sausages in a large, deep, lidded frying pan until golden all over, then remove and set aside. Heat a little oil (unless there is enough fat from the sausages already in the pan) and gently cook the onion for 5 mins until soft.
  • Add the pepper, garlic and paprika, and cook for a few mins more, then stir in the rice, mixing to coat all the grains well. Tip in the tomatoes and enough stock to just cover the rice. Simmer with the lid on for about 10-12 mins until the rice is tender. Add more stock if you need to during cooking.
  • About 5 mins before the end of the cooking time, slice the sausages and return them to the pan. Cover and continue to cook until the rice is tender. Stir through the prawns, put the lid on and leave to heat through. Season and serve immediately.

Prawn/Shrimp and Chorizo Jambalaya (Freezable/Oamc) image

This spicy, zingy Creole dish with juicy prawns can be frozen for up to 1 month. To freeze: transfer to a container, label and freeze for up to 1 month. To eat: defrost at room temperature for 8 hours, or in the fridge for 24 hours. Microwave in portions, 2 at a time, on full power for 3 minutes (for a 900W microwave), gently stirring halfway, until piping hot throughout. Serve with Tabasco and lime wedges. This is terrific with a glass of chilled, ripe rosé.

Time 50m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

Prawns (I used pre cooked Tesco's own)
Chorizo (already chopped, Tesco again)
Garlic (3)
Salt & Pepper
Soy Sauce (Optional but adds flavour - around 1 TBLSP)
Tin of Tomatoes
Vegetable stocks (2)
Fresh lemon (to taste) (optional)
Some veg (I added small baby corns, broccoli 1 pepper, and green beans)
1 onion
Olive oil for pan
Rice (Basmati, doesn't matter which brand)
BBQ Sticky Chicken (sachet from Tesco), or Cajun spice seasoning

Steps:

  • Boil water, add rice (to amount of people eating), allow to cook.
  • Put oil in a pot and allow to heat (medium to hot), add chopped onions until soft, then add broccoli, baby corns, pepper, green beans, garlic and salt & pepper allow to cook for a while longer. Mean while begin chopping your chorizo.
  • Add a tin of tomatoes to the oil pot (with vegetables in), followed by your prawns, chopped chorizo and vegetable stock cubes. Continue cooking and stirring until it simmers, (around 5 minutes).
  • Check on your rice, if its fluffy (larger) and soft (taste it if you're not sure), drain it in a colander, put the colander in the pot the rice was boiled in and place a towel over the rice (this allows it to become softer and rise slightly)
  • Whilst allowing the rice to rise, add the fresh lemon, soy sauce and a BBQ sticky chicken (or cajun) seasoning - I bought this in a packed from Tesco. Mix thoroughly
