Cooking Skill: Easy

Ingredients

6 fresh pork chipolata or 4 fresh standard pork sausages, skins removed and shaped into small meatball
1 onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons medium curry paste of your choice
100g frozen peas
1 x 250g wholegrain rice pouch, or similar
1-2 tablespoons freshly chopped coriander, optional

Method

Step 1

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over moderate heat.  Dry fry the sausages and onion for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden. 

Step 2

Stir through the curry paste and cook for a further 1-2 minutes. 

Step 3

Add the peas, rice and 4 tablespoons water. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes. 

Step 4

Tips and Serving Suggestions

To save a little, if preferred, use 150g dried white, wholegrain or basmati rice and cook according to the packet instructions 

Frozen rice works well too. To combat food waste, use leftover cooked vegetables such as diced carrots or parsnips, stirred through for a few minutes to warm through before serving. 

*Cost per serving based on proportion of ingredients used to make the dish. Total cost of ingredients calculated based on average price across four British supermarkets. Prices correct as of 26.09.24; but are subject to change due to fluctuations in ingredient prices.
