Rice with chorizo and chickpeas
Background
This Spanish-style rice with chorizo and chickpeas is super easy to make - ideal for midweek suppers or weekend lunches. You can use leftover cooked rice too (in which case the meal is on the table within 15 minutes!). As to the added vegetables, you can use peas, green beans, spinach, grated courgette, thinly sliced kale or cabbage.
Ingredients

Instructions
- Cook the rice according to the packet instructions and rest.

- Put the lid on and steam for 5 minutes or so, then stir in the rice to warm through.
