Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a pan and pan fry the chorizo for a couple of minutes or until it releases some of its spicy oil.

- Stir in the diced peppers and long grain rice, until the rice is coated in the oil and spices. Add hot chicken stock (using a stock cube is fine) and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat, cover and cook for 12 minutes.
