Background

I make this dish often when I have leftover steamed rice. It’s so easy to put together- ready in just a few minutes. The result is a filling, yummy meal, perfect for mid-week suppers. This Mexican- style chorizo rice with avocado nice cold too, so you can take it with you in your lunchbox to work or on trips. You can make it zingy by using spicy chorizo or adding some chopped jalapeno (fresh or from a jar) to the dish.

Ingredients

50g chorizo
1/2 red onion
1 cup of cooked rice
1 handful of cherry tomatoes
1 large pinch of cumin powder
1 handful of spinach
2 tbsp olives, pitted (optional) or ½ roasted pepper, sliced
Half an avocado
To serve: Lime juice, chopped fresh herbs,

Instructions

Dice the chorizo and thinly slice the onion. Cut the tomatoes in half.
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil and gently fry the onion and chorizo for 5 minutes. When the chorizo has released its fat add the tomatoes and cook for another 3 - 5 minutes until the onion and tomatoes are soft.
Add the spinach and a pinch of cumin powder and stir until the spinach has wilted.
Stir in the cooked rice and olives to warm through.
Cut the avocado flesh into chunks and add it to the rice.
Serve with a dash of lime juice and some fresh herbs of your choice (coriander, parsley, mint would work well).
