Servings: 4

Preparation duration: 20 minutes

Cooking duration: 30 minutes

 

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

A Change In Plans Source: "Today's Woman" magazine, Barbara A Tyler. Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. I'm telling you in advance, so don't act surprised. Since Ms. Stewart won't be coming, I've made a few small changes: Our sidewalk will not be lined with homemade, paper bag luminaries. After a trial run, it was decided that no matter how cleverly done, rows of flaming lunch sacks do not have the desired welcoming effect. The dining table will not be covered with expensive linens, fancy China or crystal goblets. If possible, we will use dishes that match and everyone will get a fork. Since this IS Thanksgiving, we will refrain from using the plastic Peter Rabbit plate and the Santa napkins from last Christmas. Our centerpiece will not be the tower of fresh fruit and flowers that I promised. Instead we will be displaying a hedgehog-like decoration hand-crafted from the finest construction paper. The artist assures me it is a turkey. We will be dining fashionably late. The children will entertain you while you wait. I'm sure they will be happy to share every choice comment I have made regarding Thanksgiving, pilgrims and the turkey hotline. Please remember that most of these comments were made at 5:00 AM upon discovering that the turkey was still hard enough to cut diamonds. As accompaniment to the children's recital, I will play a recording of tribal drumming. If the children should mention that I don't own a recording of tribal drumming, or that tribal drumming sounds suspiciously like a frozen turkey in a clothes dryer, ignore them. They are lying. We toyed with the idea of ringing a dainty silver bell to announce the start of our feast. In the end, we chose to keep our traditional method. We've also decided against a formal seating arrangement. When the smoke alarm sounds, please gather around the table and sit where you like. In the spirit of harmony, we will ask the children to sit at a separate table. In a separate room. Next door. Now I know you have all seen pictures of one person carving a turkey in front of a crowd of appreciative onlookers. This will not be happening at our dinner. For safety reasons, the turkey will be carved in a private ceremony. I stress "private" meaning: Do not, under any circumstances, enter the kitchen to laugh at me. Do not send small, unsuspecting children to check on my progress. I have an electric knife. The turkey is unarmed. It stands to reason that I will eventually win. When I do, we will eat. Before I forget, there is one last change. Instead of offering a choice between 12 different scrumptious desserts, we will be serving the traditional pumpkin pie, garnished with whipped cream and small fingerprints. You will still have a choice: take it or leave it. Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. She probably won't come next year either. I am thankful.
