Spicy sausage pilaf

  • 2 tsp curry powder (or mild curried sausages recipe base)

  • 1 cup frozen garden peas

  • 1 lemon

  • 2 cups basmati rice

  • 2 tbsp chicken flavour stock powder

  • 1 bunch coriander

  • 1 tbsp salted butter

Method

  1. In a hot pan with a little olive oil sizzle your onion, chorizo and garlic until onion is softened.

  2. Add in rice and curry powder and stir for a minute to coat the rice.

  3. Pour in water, peas and stock powder.

  4. Once your water starts boiling, turn the heat down to low and pop a lid on.

  6. Add in sliced coriander and butter and with a fork gently fluff up your rice.

Steph De Sousa

Steph De Sousa cooks as The Frugal Foodie, building recipes around what's already in the pantry and the produce nobody wants to throw out. Her style is straightforward and budget-aware without being austere: roast vegetable peelings, second-day rice, a freezer worked properly. She brings practical home rhythms to Savour and Wander.
