This easy one pot meal is packed with spicy sausage, hearty beans, and flavourful rice. Perfect for those nights when you want big, bold flavours without a big mess.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 500g (1.1 lbs) raw chorizo
- 1 red capsicum (bell pepper), diced
- 1 brown onion, diced
- 3 sticks celery, diced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp cayenne
- 250g (1 ¼ cups) long grain rice
- 1L (4 cups) chicken stock
- 2 tins (400g/14 oz each) red kidney beans
Directions
Start by washing your rice twice and then soak it in water until ready to cook.
- Place a large saucepan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the olive oil is hot, remove the sausage from its casing and add it to the pan. Use a wooden spoon to break the sausage into pieces.
- Once the sausage starts to cook and you see some colour developing on the bottom of the pan, add the onions and continue to cook, stirring for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, add the capsicum and diced celery and give it a stir.
- Next, add the dried thyme, smoked paprika, and cayenne and stir, followed by the washed rice, stirring through.
- Add the chicken stock and stir well. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, add the cooked beans and stir through. Cook for a further 4-5 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and the beans are hot all the way through.
- Serve and enjoy!

8 January 2025Reheats very well on the stove the next day! And you can easily modify the leftovers to make it taste different so you don't feel like you are eating the same thing again and again. For example, a few tablespoons of a dairy product like heavy cream or cheese also helps add some depth of flavor IMO. If you like heat as much as I do, some dashes of your favorite hot sauce also ups the flavor. A bit of chopped tomatoes, or tomato sauce is also great in it.
Can't wait to make this again! Super easy, super tasty.
