Second - lemon and herb one pot with Chicken and two sliced traditional sausages with herbs and a squeeze of a lemon.

Third - a portobello mushroom version 3 large mushroom sliced with spicy harrisa! 1 tbsp of harrisa !

2

Meanwhile slice the onion, throw that in the pan and stir.
3

Chop the chorizo and and garlic, throw that into and stir again.
4

Slice the red pepper and courgette too, add this to the pan, stirring well.
5

Add the herbs and spices and tinned tomatoes keep on frying well!
6

Stir well add the rice coating it with all the ingredients then add the stock. Make sure all the grains are covered then add a lid! Turn down the heat to a low to medium setting. Cook for approximately 30 - 40 minutes depending on when the grains are soft and the liquid is absorbed! About 10 minutes towards the end check it’s not burning!
7

If need be add a bit more water to it if it’s grainy but not much liquid!
