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
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.
