    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Heat oil in a large saucepan and gently cook garlic and cumin for a couple of minutes. Add rice to pan, mixing to coat well with garlic and cook for a further minute.

    2 Stir in tomatoes, kidney beans and stock. Cover and cook on a low heat until rice is cooked and a little creamy. Check the pan regularly during this time and stir in half a cup of water each time – this keeps the rice from drying out and sticking to the pan (you may need to do this 4 or 5 times).

    3 Once rice is cooked through, serve with a light sprinkling of grated cheese. Enjoy with salad or vegetables.
