Ingredients:

1/2 tbsp chopped chipotle in adobo sauce (adjust to taste)

1½ cup basmati rice

500g mini beef sausages

1 large brown onion, peeled & chopped

400g canned chopped tomatoes

1¼ cup chicken stock

1½ tbsp cooking oil

Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

2 cloves of garlic, peeled & chopped

2 tsps ground cumin

1/2 tbsp ground paprika ( I used sweet paprika, but normal paprika will work too)

1/2 tbsp dried oregano

1 cup frozen peas

1 large red capsicum (bell pepper), cut into chunks

Equipment:

baking paper

oven

pot

Cooking instruction summary:

Precook the sausages in a preheated oven of 180C on a baking paper lined tray for 10 minutes. While the sausages are cooking in the oven, use the time to prepare the rest of the ingredients.In a large heavy base non-stick pot, add cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add onion and saute until translucent over low-medium flame. Reduce the flame to low, add garlic, dried oregano, ground paprika, ground cumin and chipotle in adobo sauce and saute until the mixture is aromatic and the oil slightly separates from the mixture. Add basmati rice and toss to coat the rice with the tempered spices over low heat. Add chopped tomatoes and chicken stock to the rice to make sure the liquid is evenly distributed with the rice and then add sausages ( you may need to cut in bite size pieces if you could not get the mini sized ones), frozen peas and capsicum chunks. Turn the flame over high until the mixture start to bubble and then cover with a lid and turn the flame to low. Allow the rice to cook over low heat for 30 minutes. Check if the rice is done. If it appears to be undercooked, don't worry, put the lid back on and cook further over low heat for another 10 to 15 minutes. Allow the rice to rest for another 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve immediately.

Food Joke

Four surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their work. The first said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered." The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order." The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded." The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their ass are interchangeable."
