1 Green bell pepper, chopped

The How

1. Melt the butter in a large, heavy-based pan. Add onions, garlic, celery, peppers and spice mixture and mix well.

2. Add the rice and stir well to coat the grains in the butter mixture.

3. Add the tomatoes, meats, stock or wine and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring well.

4. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice and meat are fully cooked and rice is fluffy and has absorbed all the liquid. If the mixture seems to be too dry then add a little boiling water, tablespoon by tablespoon, towards the end of the cooking time.

5. Serve and Enjoy!!
