Method
- Preheat the grill to high. Place the red pepper on a baking tray and drizzle with 1/2 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill for 5-10 minutes or until the edges begin to darken and char. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then chop into smaller pieces.
- Meanwhile, heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a frying pan and fry the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is soft.
- Add the rice, tomato purée and stock. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and cooked. Top up with a little extra stock if required.
- Add the red pepper and stir until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Season immediately.
