Ingredients:

• 1 cup Basmati rice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoon chives, chopped (optional)

Instructions:

1. Start by rinsing the rice with cold water until it runs clear. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 3-5 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
3. Stir in the turmeric, paprika, cumin, and coriander, and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
4. Add the chopped bell peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Stir in the rice and make sure all grains are coated in the spice mixture.
6. Add the broth, bay leaf, salt, and pepper, and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover the skillet or saucepan.
7. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.
8. Remove the bay leaf and fluff the rice with a fork. If desired, garnish with chopped chives.
9. Your Nando's spicy rice is now ready to be served as a delicious side dish to your favorite Nando's chicken.

Tips:

• If you don't have Basmati rice, you can use any long-grain white rice.
• For a spicier rice, add some diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
• If you're not a fan of bell peppers, you can leave them out or substitute them with any other vegetable of your choice.
• If you want to give your rice an extra kick, add a tablespoon of Nando's PERi-PERi sauce when you add the broth.
• This recipe makes about 4 servings, but you can easily double or triple it for larger gatherings.
