Ingredients

For the spice blend:

  • 1.5 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes

For the rest:

  • 1 tbsp garlic-infused oil
  • 2 red peppers chopped into bite-sized chunks
  • 500 g beef mince
  • 200 g dried long grain rice
  • 750 ml gluten-free beef stock
  • 400 g chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 75 g mozzarella grated
  • handful spring onion greens finely chopped

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large oven proof pot on a high heat. Add the peppers and fry until they start to char a little.
  • Add in the mince and fry until just browned.
  • Mix the spices for the spice blend together and add them to the pot, mix so they coat the peppers and mince.
  • Add in the rice and allow that to be fully coated in the spices too.
  • Pour in the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree and stock. Mix then pop the lid on and reduce the heat right down to a simmer.
  • Cook for about 40 minutes until the rice is cooked and the liquid has reduced. I give it a stir every so often throughout to check on it.
  • Remove the lid and from the heat, sprinkle with cheese and pop under the grill until the cheese melts and turns golden.
  • Sprinkle with spring onion greens and serve up straight away.
