Chorizo, Butter Bean & Tomato Stew

Serves 4

150g basmati rice
2tbsp olive oil
1 pinch of cumin seeds
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 onions, chopped
200g chorizo sausage, sliced
2 x 400g can tomatoes
400g roasted peppers (jarred)
1tsp paprika
800g canned butter beans, drained if in liquid
salt and pepper
coriander, to serve

Cook the rice according to packet instructions.  Meanwhile, take a large saucepan and add the olive oil.  Add the cumin and cook for 2 mins until it smells fragrant.  Add the garlic and onions, reduce the heat and cover the pan with a lid.  When the onions have softened (around 5 mins), remove the lid, add the chorizo and turn the heat up stirring continuously.
Once the chorizo begins to crisp, lower the heat to medium and add the tomatoes, roasted peppers, paprika and butter beans.  Season with salt and pepper.  Simmer for 10 mins, then add coriander just before serving.
