Spicy Rice Recipe

It's been pretty hot here and I've lost the will to cook. Spicy Rice is a recipe I concocted as it requires one pan, is good cold and reheats well.

Serves 4 as an accompaniment, or two for a really slutty dinner.

1 onion, chopped
Slug veg oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2tbsp curry paste
250g basmati rice, rinsed
1 tin chick peas, drained
500ml stock
1 handful of random veg, eg. frozen peas, chopped peppers, frozen spinach
1 handful nuts of your choice

Fry onion in oil for 3 mins , add garlic and curry paste and cook for 1 min. Add rice, stock, chickpeas and cook until stock is absorbed. You will have to use your discretion when adding the veg- the cooking depends on the veg and how cooked you like it. Live a little and experiment!

Serve sprinkled with the nuts. Some coriander would be nice.

I reckon it would go well with a fried egg. Yum.
